If you had time on your hands I would suggest you look at tirerack.com.
I calculated the other day that I could get 4 Advan AD08's delivered to my door for about $230 each including postage thanks to the exchange rate at the moment.

drove these at bathurst on a cold day (9 degrees) on an AWD sx4 and couldnt get any heat into them! my nexxens were running circles round them... but im sure the endurance would win

Awesome help all
So far I've derived that these tires would be awesome (and in my approximate price range)
Yokohama c drives
BFG G-sport Profilers
Federal 595
Falken FK452
Kumho KU31
Yes/No?

Im going to go for the Falken FK452 very soon...
Brendon, what have you decided on? where do you plan to get it done? Bobjanes is pretty close to my work at penrith... Might be able to do 200 per tyre for 2 tyres if they feel generous... Also getting a wheel alignment with it so could be about ~$450...

Well I emailed ABC tire power to see what they can do, and I'm going to try to contact JAX and see what they can do to.
I'm not the biggest fan of bob jane, but I might email them and get prices. (that's if anyone checks their emails)!
I'm honestly considering these:
BFG G-sport Profilers
Federal 595
Falken FK452 - These might be just out of my price range..
