You may be able to buy some old stock for a while, but I doubt that they would make both.

I picked up a set about 4 weeks ago though a friend (beaurepairs employee)
for $310 each so he should be able to sharpen his pencil a bit more.

Yes you can still buy the old MTR,s and beaurepairs seem to be the place

And sorry i carn't disclose what store i picked mine up from so dont ask.

You may say buying tyres on looks is a bad idea. Weipa is 800km north of Cains in the middle of no where theres not many people around, let a friendly tyre joint to help you out. Frieght puts a massive price on anything.
Hence Weipa having the most exspensive woolworths in Australia.
Anything is possible, it just comes down to time and money.
