My tread is getting dangerously low I'm not too knowledgeable in this department, and i can't manage to figure out where to find these tyres. Is it 100% necessary that I get the same tyres as I had before (Toyo Proxes I'm pretty sure)? My rear tyres are 225/50/15R, but the front are 195/55/15R, but so far everywhere I've gone, everyone just says that they dont make that size anymore (225/50/15). What are my options?

The only tyres I have found in that size for my stock rear rims are Falken ZE912 225/50R15 91V. I checked a few weeks back at Bob Jane and still had 70 or so tyres in stock. Note these are not high performance tyres, just daily all rounders.

I found some of the Falken's on ebay 18 months ago from CabterburyTradingandmag in Vic.
Spoke to the tyre place close to work where I have been before & the were happy to fit them for me because they didn't have anything either.  So I got them delivered there.

Hi There,
My last set of tyres for standard 15 inch wheels were Nexen from Tyrepower.

Pirelli make a tyre in that size for classic Lambo's etc. Or try Nitto.

In the same boat sort of. Have Bridgestone Potenza GT11  225/50R/15 & 205/50R15. Tread is good at the moment and I like the Mags I already have. Don't really want to upgrade rims unless I really have to.
What are people with OEM 14" wheels doing?
Had a lot of trouble finding the 205's at the last replacement.

I don't know how good the Pirrelli's that have been mentioned are but they are expensive.

This is the solution: Demon Tweeks in the UK.Their prices are VERY favorable, even with the shipping included... and you can get numerous sizes (and brands) that aren't available in Australia.
 
I just got a set of T1-R's delivered from them last week. Arrived at my house exactly one week after being ordered.

Unfortunately the local Toyo resellers have stopped supplying T1R's in our sizes - Demontweeks to the rescue!
I ordered my last set from them, arrived in about 5 business days from the UK for a very reasonable price!
Brexit has helped the exchange rate for us, too.
