Well, for that price.... no....
You could try, http://www.tempetyres.com.au/
As a number of people of this forum have bought from there and they say it's pretty good...
Good Luck...

Most places are not familiar with the settings for indvidual cars so they set them as close to zero as possible.
However, you want your car setup for how you drive.
If the rear is sliding out, I'd start by making sure there was a negative camber on the rear wheels (probably around 2 degrees).
The FTO is a very good handling car and to have the oversteer you speak of is quite unusual, so I suspect the previous suspension place put the camber on the rear back to 0, which would actually create some instability in the FTO, as it has a negative camber as standard.
Make sure you get a print out when done, this will show you all the various settings such as camber and caster etc.
