I bought 8 new tyres when travelling in Australia - Falkens for the 12"x5" alloys on the Mini. I would have preferred Yokohamas but they were not available (even contacted Yokohama direct). The Falkens were OK for our travels in Australia and one last trip across North America & back.

Replaced with Yokohama A539s...which get to Canada via the UK (likely the same scenario in OZ but I did not explore that in 2011 as I was not in OZ at time of purchase).

Falkens are not commonly used in western Canada.

Thanks, I have found a Yokohama supplier online and can get 165 60 R12 at $129 so all good.
Nearly all replies say hook rather than falkan
