Can you PM me the link of the skid plate you found?
A couple of reasons, first is there are no real "winter" tyres available in Australia as it doesn't really get cold enough for long enough, and the other is that rally or all terrain tyres are banned on this track because they cause too much damage.
I dont mind running normal street tyres, as they are not a bad compromise for having fun on the bitumen as well as gravel (and in truth, this track is unusually destructive!)

The plate is made by Laile in Japan, primarily for the Japanese rally season. This is the link to their rally stuff : http://laile.co.jp/en/carparts/rally.../guard_series/

Mine is part number A564001, and I bought mine via eBay from Japan. Expensive, but extremely well thought out, and strong.

There are some pics of it in my post here (ironically the subject of my abuse from above ) :
