A hint on what tyre size you are talking about would help.

Go to a Bridgstone only outlet and say you want 5 tyres, should be around the $360 to $380 for the D697s, we paid $350 for our D697s from Bridgstone at Taren Point(Jobsons)

OK just noticed you're in Darwin.

Many Thanks - Yep we're from Darwin, but staying Miles Qld for work (Project wraps up in October)

I was recently in Longreach & called in to the Bridgestone dealer out of interest regarding tyre stocks for 265/60R18. I was pleasantly surprised to find they actually had D697s in stock!

Didn't get a quote but could be worth ringing them.

Daughter and partner live and work in Miles.
They report tyres (and just about everything else) very expensive there - probably something to do with all the CSG/ mining $$$$ there.

Consider the Hankook RTF10 as well, I am very happy with mine in 255/55/19 they may be available in your size

Hi Lola,
I got some general Grabber AT's or the AT2's might be worth a look. Mid $300's mine were.

[Redback]

Look at these as well, they where both around the $250 mark from JAX Tyres in Cairns, but as Miles is close to Brisbane, might be worth the drive to there instead of home for the night, disregard this if you get ferried to and from work by the company, I'm assuming you do go there occasionally, might be worth waiting.

Thanks Everyone - plenty to look at...

Purchasing locally (Miles, Chinchilla or Roma) is pretty cost prohibitive,

The "CSG Boom" has shifted from construction phase to operations, essentially everything is pretty quiet. A few local business' feeling the pinch and some of those who invested in the alleged housing boom have been caught out

Same local businesses and real estate agencies and building speculators were happy to price gouge during the boom.
$800/week rent for an old ****box of a house 18 months ago, but now the CSG boom has settled the agents are asking $450 for a near new 3-4 bedroom home and you're likely to get it with an offer of $250-275/week.
At least the locals on normal wages (non CSG) have a chance of a getting a roof over their heads now.

Is it feasible for you to buy the tyres online for delivery and get them fitted by a local tyre shop. I had a spare stripped, replaced by a new tyre and balanced recently for about $23.00. When I was looking for a replacement for the spare I could get tyre delivered far cheaper than buying from a dealer even allowing for strip and fit being an additional cost.

I used tiresales last time to buy Pirelli Scorpion ATR's online. They were the cheapest at the time for me. They weren't in stock on the website so I called and placed an order, which you can do for any of the brands they stock.

They arrange free delivery and fitment to a location near you. Check out their fitment centre locator, there's a few near Miles:

G'day all,

Lining up tyre purchase through our service guy & laser alignment, read some positive stuff on Toyo AT - price was still up there at $340 a corner fitted & balanced + $110 for 4 wheel alignment.
Keen to get it all sorted in pre trip service for Xmas Drive with grandkids to Perth (ex Brisbane)

Cheers

I have recently bought D 697's in Broome ($449 inc GST ea) and Darwin ($457 inc GST ea) which included fitting and balancing.

That cost also includes the disposal of the tyres, which up here is a reasonable amount. When I get another one on my sixth rim soon I will ask exactly how much it is.
