Hi mate,
I am in suburban Adelaide and have a set of 13" stockies with decent tyres for sale. Check out thread here:
showthread.php?t=6803

As it says I am not after much and not in a real hurry to shift them.

Cheers
Julian

Bob Jane Catalogue this week had some decent looking pirellis in 175/70/13 that looked pretty good, under $100 each too. Otherwise, if you are after 4wd tyres you can look at wintermarks, not bad but a bit soft.

What are you actually after, the question maketh the answer.

bridgestone make a similar snow tyre to that toyo (wore out in about 15000kms tho)

and there also should be some options in retreads that have some meat on them

ive had toyo 720s on the brumby for more nearly 2 years now grip on road is great off road is pretty good too
have had one go flat but pulgged and going well
done 60 or 70000 on this set and would probley go another if i dont go up in size before thay were out

did notice that on the brumby the outer edge wore insainly fast when i was driving 150K to wrk and back on real windy road
mys camber is not the best for driving hard on the road

inflate them higher so as to get it bulging in the middle a bit more and hopefully not wear so fast on edges
