Here, but they are the goods... the Toyota skinnies look rather similar..
Visit a couple of tyre shops and ask.....
They have lots of suppliers they can get onto for tyres, that's how I got my Road Track Majors, I told them the vehicle it was for and that crossply was OK and they found that there was a batch of Dunlop RTM's being made.
From memory the spare I have fitted was 6-ply made in Australia and the 4 new ones were 8-ply made in Malaysia.

It will depend on the staff at the shop and how interested they are in solving your problem so try a couple and see what they come up with.
