Default Need to get tyres cheap in Perth

As the topic says where can I get cheap tyres? I don't really care where to get them in Perth, just need to be cheap. I have Nankang NS2's at the moment, and 2 of them are worn down to the carcass...

No worries, cheer's for that.

I'm not from Perth hence my reason for asking. But I will be in Perth next week, so I have to get replacements. Basically, I'm looking for cheap replacements (ie Nankangs) or good quality semi's (Hankook RS2's, Falken RT215,615 etc). I don't want good street tyres as the difference between them and shit ones is negligible. But the difference between Street's and Semi's is huge, and I would be prepared to put up with the negatives for the extra grip available.

Unless Tech 9's customer service has improved, personally I wouldn't bother. I tried to spend serious $$ withe them on a couple of occasions but they just didn't seem to want to take my money. Total failure to follow through opn promises.

The guys at Midvale Discount Tyres can do great prices on Hankook. I am running the RS-2's which are a pretty aggressive street tyre (grippy) and they were $250 a throw for 18's.

Can't get the RS-2's in WA anymore... Not enough demand apparently.

And Midvale is a long way out of town, any other options? I don't mind going that far to get them but if I can get similar from in town that would be great. Hankook don't list dealers on their website...

Fair enough, but after my other half purchased tyres through him yesterday, it was actually the complete opposite.
