Nope Faulken not available anywhere.

Good news though I did manage to fins a set of symex tyres cheap as chips 265/60/12.

This actually works in my favour because I save $200.00. When I race the car I have to race it on A032R tyres which means 10"wheels. I presently have A008s on my 10" wheels, so until the start of the season I can run my A008s at any track days we have and that puts me on the same tyre as the other Mini guys meaning there can be no talk of an unfair advantage with "STicky" tyres. :lol:

Call one of the many Mini shops in Sydney? PM the doc? Tempe Tyres? they should know where to get tyres....South Coast might be a little limited for Mini stuff.... :wink:

It's got nothing to do with the SOuth Coast as all the suppliers are in Sydney. Unless there is a tyre shop out there who actually has them in stock (which is highly unllikely) the are no Yokie 539 or Faulken 165/60/12 available at the moment only the Symex or whatever the hell they are called.

Anyway, as I said in my previous post this actually worked out better for me.

Um... Oz, you have 10" wheels and S brakes, so why fit 12x5s? Won't handle any better! :lol:
And there are shitloads of 10x5" wheels and tyres out there, or in here! :wink:
