I would double the amount you see them for sale in Japan.

We buy a lot off of yahoo, lots of hidden costs you don't think about

Just bought some Falken's in size 165/60R12.

They were expensive. I wanted A539s (still got decent ones on the front, great tyre) but no one, not in Adelaide at least, it stocking them and yokohama is refusing to reply or even answer my questions even one a phone call.

However they selling in the UK, along with Falkens at rather cheap prices. Check Minispares.com and you'll see. But try and get them shipped and watch your wallet crumble.

Was going to mention it you Steve, but I think a minishop needs to bring in a large amount of them from the UK and sell them off. If you did that I'd buy a set, of course as long as they are too expensive :P .
You get what I mean.
