Default What tyres should I be looking at?

Hi there all the Cobra people.

I will most likely be wanting/needing new tyres for Shelbyfest this year.
Does anyone have any recomendations?
There is a chance I will be driving the Cobra from Alice Springs to Melbourne then back home again, and its main use will be on the streets (little chance of rain on the roads - although a big chance of dust).

If I get them through Tire Rack I will get them sent to Mums house in Melbourne and drive down on my current tyres then get the new ones fitted in Melbourne.

The fronts are 235/45/17 and rears are 275/40/17,

I have been checking the Toyo R888 for front and rear through Stuckey tyres and they are super expensive, I could not locate them on Tire Rack.

I have also looked at these from Tire Rack, http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Qty=4&i1_Qty=4


Anyway, bearing in mind there main use, what can people recomend?
