ausmini :: View topic - bridgestone tyres in 10 and 12 inch ????

bridgestones never were for 12" they were a 10" tyre that are still being supplied. the only 12" around at the moment is the falkens.

that's a bit wierd..... 165/60/10 SF226's are usually in plentiful supply

you've put 12's on Barney now?

as far as i am aware Bridgestone do not make them in 12 inch anymore.

I have the new Falken Ziex tyres and have no issues with them whatsoever, I know the old version had a pretty bad rap but these ones seem fine.
You should check out www.ausmini.com/tyres

i just had a look at the ausmini tyre suggestion page and im not going to pay $105 for the Falkens if i can get the Yokohama's for $120.

but by the looks of things Yokohama dont sell the 165/60/12's anymore either.
i think falken is my only option if i want a 165.

thanks for all the help guys

G'day, Been ringing around trying to get a set of 165/60/R12s for my car and ive been told by a few places that bridgestone no longer make tyres smaller than 13 inch. Is this true? because judging by the bridgestone website they dont have a listing for anything under 13 inch. Could anyone suggest another good set of 12" tyres. maybe Michelin's ?? Any info would be appreciated. cheers, Marc

Not sure about 12" but I liked them in 10" when they first came out , they were so far ahead of the old Birdgestone SF310 turbo it wasn't funny . Other tyres now are probably better again but at the time Yokohama's were very expensive by comparrison so they were a good compromise .

I am getting a new set of Bridgestone 12s over the weekend. Look at their webpage, they have 10s and 12s. For Minis they have the S226 in 165/70R10 and 145/70R12. (the 145/70R12 is the standard size for the 1275LS but are a bit skinny for most peoples taste!) For the Morris 1100 they have the Bridgestone B80 155/80R12.

When I tried to get a set of 165/10 Bridgies late last year BS told me "no longer available"; ended up getting one from Sydney, one in Canberra and two from Albury. Seems to depend on who you ask... Good luck, Ian
