Hello All; Has anyone recently purchased 10 inch tyres from any of the larger tyre stores. I am about to buy 4 and wondering where to purchase . These are for a daily driver. Thanks, |

They will probably need to be ordered in for next day fitting? |

Bob Jane ordered Yokohama a008's for me over night. $130 fitted. That was earlier this year. |

What is the preferred 10 inch tyre these days? Been a long time since I have 10 inch rims but I am thinking of going back to them. |

I went to friend of a friend that runs a yoko seller and he happily got in the a008's next day for me. Seem to be pretty good tyres. |

Gafmo has already flung his off the van and fitted A008s. |

They seem to be fine with all the various things I've needed over the past 3 years |

They are a street legal race tyre. OK for a car on historic plates or one that gets seldom driven, but a waste of $$$ on a daily driver, IMO. |

How about the Falkens? (SN-807 or FK-07E) Anyone running them? How do the fare on Aussie road conditions compared to the yoko's? |

I have the Falken FK-07E on the front. They have been on for 12 months. Seem to be wearing well. Good in the wet as well. I have had Falken FX-07A on the back for a few years. They seem a little softer than the fronts. |

That's what I have on mine now (SN-807). Grip is ok, life is good so far. Definitely more suited to a daily driver than to a weekend racer |
