Just wondering the best place for 10inch tire retailers. I have just got a new (old) steel rim with a 145/10 tyre on it. The other 4 jellybean wheels have 165/10 tires on it. They seem to be in good order.

So where can i get 145s from? Also will, if in an emergency, driving on one 145 and 3 165s do much harm? The 145 will be the spare tire on the steel rim.

I hope that made sense coz its late and im tired.

Most tyre dealers can still get 145-10 or 165/70-10. But last time I rang K-Mart they said they don't do 10"... pity, they were cheapest a while back!

A 145 is fine for a spare. It will cohabit with the 165/70-10s OK, just don't drive too hard..

BTW, after all the stories heard about Yokohama 165/70-10 A008s being hard to get/no longer made/not brought in anymore etc, 3 of us just bought 12 in one go. Better price.. :wink:

Just bought 2 Yokie A008's in 165/70-10 last week, myself. 109 bucks each, fitted and balanced.
