I need to get some new tyres for 12" superlites due to early failure
I have been hunting down some A539s to no avail..

Can anyone help me with recommending a tyre of equal quality as the yokos. I have been quoted on falkens-$120 and simex-$90 so would be leaning to the falkens i'd say..
I have been asking about the Dunlop 048R but no one seems to stock them. (keep getting told they don't make any to suit).
If any body in Adelaide has bought some recently- what, where, and approx. $$.

The tyres i'm looking for are 165/60R12

Thanks.

I got these from Garys Motorsports, i think they were about $160ish per tyre? They are 165/55/R12 Dunlop Formula R DO1J's

Hanra, they look the goods for sure!
Plenty of grip I assume by the tread pattern there, and they are street legal?

Very tempting, I may have 3 A539s for sale if they get purchased.. Still with plenty of tread, any takers?!?

They are a very soft tyre and if u drive on them everyday, they will wear out very quick!!!!!

I think they are street legal, they are a semi circut/street tyre. Look up Garys Motorsport, they should be able to help out.

A539's are Yokys.

Thanks Hanra. The car is not an every day driver. Weekends and the occasional week night as i have a van for work. I'd like to get a few thousand miles out of them so may check with with that gary's MS as to what i should expect from them first b4 I get too excited and order some.

I thought they were awesome, i just like to have 4 of the same and can't find a single one to replace the damaged one..

Cheers willy, might try and get a hold of them tomorrow then.

I don't doubt that, they're basically a treaded slick!
The yokos were a good 'performance' tyre, much like the 008s i had on the 10s..

Thanks for the phone numbers etc. I'll try slix first as it's a bit easier dealing with somebody local.
Will have to look at getting the rest of the suspension properly set up with adjustable parts to take advantage of the extra grip!
