Default Cheapest Tyres SoR

Hey guys ive used the search button before posting this.

I am looking for a set (4) of cheap new or 2nd hand tyres to fit onto my gold 5 spoke gc8 wheels i have just purchased off stacey. Im pretty sure the tyres are 205/55/16 but am abit unsure. If anyone knows of a tyre shop in Perth or SoR as im down rockingham way? Im not looking for brand new good quality rubber, just some tyres that are legal and will get me by.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
Roadkl

Ring all the usual places ie Bob Jane, Beaurepaires, Ian Diffen, K Mart tyre etc and just ask em what they've got cheap in that size

I usually call Kerry from Bridgestone in Bentley. Always looks after me.

Bridgestone Applecross have been doing their top of the line Adrenalin RE-002 for just over $210 each for my GC8 6 Spoke 16" in the stock profile size.

Kumho KU31's are a great tyre for the price, had a set of four fitted for $650-odd last August and they're a damn sight better than the Toyo TEO's I had before them.
