I think Khumos are budget tyres mate, not 100% sure though but they are usually the ones sold with cheap wheel/tyre packages....

I got quoted about 120 a corner for Michelins for my UK300 which is on 18'' Prodrive rims and around 110 a corner for Pirellis

no, you want 225/35x18 max, some prefer 215/35x18.

dunno, there are so many choices out there these days.

The best tyres i have used by far are Bridgestone SO2 PP, you can still buy these in 225/35x18 but they are discontinued in the more popular Impreza sizes.
