Costco:
Michelin Pilot Sport 3 - $291 each (with a $50 discount if you fit four)
Bridgestone RE002 - $253 each (same discount as above)

KMart:
Goodyear EfficiencyGrip (Mondeo OEM tyres) - $225

I've gone for Continentals, which I have been able to get from Jax for a really good price.
So I ended up getting 21,000km out of the Continental ContiSport MC5s (fitted to the front)... Not great, especially considering the original Goodyears on the rear are still okay!

Going to try Hankooks at $155 each...
