So what have we got to choose from in an all rounder 165/60R12 tyre now?

Falkens have a bad name in the wet, not good for us who drive cars every day. Can't get A539's anymore. I don't want A048's as i'll wear em out too damn quickly (ok for a non-daily).

What are the cheap Simex like? Probably CHEAP! :lol:

I've got a set of 12x5 Superlights, brand new, sitting here waiting for tyres. :lol:

Great tyre but NLA...

Rang Pat Tyres in Fyshwick yesterday and he has said the NLA of A359 is absolute bunk. He got the new Yoko catalogue yesterday(24/4)and they are listed in it so therefore can be ordered and fitted. The 10 inch 008 tyres are also still being made and there is no intention of stopping it according to Pats tyres(the japs make a run of them then have a breather, once stocks are low they make another batch...)

Pats Tyres called Melbourne(Yoko head shed)and they put the rumours to bed - they are still being made...I have mentioned it before, go to the website and contact Christian who will source the tyres if they are available - its an email away...lol

Just for clarification...

Hooroo

This was an e-mail I got from Yokohama Australia in January when they stopped importing them..

Hi Glen,

Unfortunately the tyres you’re after have been discontinued just recently and we can’t order them in.

Here's the thread http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=352797#352797 when we talked about it, I hope they do start importing them again they are great tyres.
