$105 is about right for Yoko A008's. I did get a quote of about $98 but that was awhile ago now...
Bridgestones and Yoko A008 are vastly different tyres!

well i think it is conclusive that these are the best tyres for mini's so i have decided to replace my slippery 30 year old retreads with someone nice new rubber. today i ordered some so i am just curious to see if $105 each is around the right price it is what i expected so i am not fussed just curious. cheers |

$105 sound expensive to me when I got a quote for Bridgestone jobbies @ 60 each. But I am not fussed about what tyres I have, cheaper is better for me! |

Bromley, we are talking a tyre that is probably a bit better than the Bridgies you have been quoted for. At the moment I have two A008s on the rear and two A032Rs on the front. Considering there is $150.00 per tyre diffirence in the price I think $105 is a good price for what you get. When I had the 12" wheels I ran the A539 on a couple of track days and they were also a very very good tyre. |

I Bought a set from the same place as Max, but two years ago, and they were $95 ea ... Graham or ganised a bulk lot about 12 months ago, and they were $96 ea from Wallsend.... ( I think. . . ) so for them to jump $20 in less than a year... its a worry.... These things have been "Unobtainium" for a few years, but they still keep coming.... J |

Just dont let them use their rattle guns on your wheel nuts  .

When I get the van operational I may think about fancy tyres. Might go do a search and get some info. |

Probably fodder for a new post but what are the best ROAD tyres for a 12" rim? I currently have Falkens and need 2 replacing for a roadworthy. |

yokohama a539's are the best road tyre for 12" rims. i don't recommend having different tyres on the front than whats on the back.. it makes the handling dangerous. |
