I found the right size and brand/model tyres searching on Ebay from Taleb Tyres in NSW. The Ebay prices were already cheap but I called them up to confirm stock and told them I already seen the Ebay price. The guy then volunteered to sell it at the ebay price with free shipping if I just placed the order over the phone, because they would save on Ebay fees! Placed the order on Thursday, got it on Monday! He also suggested I get the tyres mounted at an independent store, not the big chains, cause they hate people buying cheap tyres on the internet and will charge a lot to fit them. Ask for Max.
For reference, I bought Nitto NT05s in 245/35R19 and 275/35R19 for a smidge over $1000 shipped... I called a couple of Brisbane based shops and they wanted at least $1600 for the same thing.
St George Tyres also in NSW were even cheaper by $100 but did not have stock. I don't know if they would have thrown in shipping either, probably would have had to pay for that, so it would have been a wash.
