Thanks for the help guys,

It seems that every tyre dealer recommends a different tyre.

Thanks to David Hodgson it looks like we have the solution.

I called my local Bridgestone dealer. The 710 & 711's have been discontinued. Replaced by G3. The G3's only go up to 225 width.

However my dealer has discovered some 710's 255 width in NSW. He is double checking to ensure they are in physically in stock, if they are then I will order them today.

My next door neighbour also had a good idea. He suggested putting 225 width all around and then getting H rated 255 after registration. Then keep the 2nd set of 225 tyres for when the front ones wear out.

My car is back at the auto electricians. Hopefully my car will be ready for rego in a couple of weeks.
