too bad there's no shops around that actaully sell tyres
I wouldn't go to that extent. The last set of tyres I bought were from tyresales.com.au (actually their eBay page). They were for my Cube and were a not so common size - 175/60R15. Bought online, delivered to my door and I just took them to my mechanic to have them fitted. Was ~$40 cheaper per tyre than I could get from anyone else.
It varies wildly between places. So make sure you shop around before purchasing.
try tyresales.com.au to compare pricing, although they don't carry all brands
Also make sure you get the new ones put on the front and the two that were on the front (which sound like the better 'used' ones in your case) fitted to the back. You should always have your best tyres on the 'steer end'.
A good starting point is to see what the price is of the tyres already on your car.
The Nissan Pulsar is a small car. An "acceptable" budget tyre can be had for under $100 a tyre. That's based off a popular budget model like Bob Jane T-Marts Allrounder:

www.jaxtyres.com.au
www.tyresandmore.com.au)The prices are usually the nationwide RRP so some of the franchisee's can sell them a little cheaper.
If you aren't brand specific and live in the big cities then eBay has the cheapest no name brand tyres but they don't include the price for disposal or for fitting+balancing.
Perhaps you could start with the actual tyre size (225/55/R15 for example)… What you're asking is very ambiguous as it is.
One thing to point out is that the total surface area of the car touching the ground is about the same as the palm of your hand at speed. So spending a little more to get a good quality set of tyres might not seem such a huge expense when you actually need them to perform.. and possibly save you and the ones in your vehicle.
