I'm getting quotes of $139 each for Yoko 008's 165/70x10 and $219 for 032's.

Any recomendations for 10's in Brizzy?

ha ha ha.
My friend's wife works for Yokohama and she quoted me similar prices. I think that she hates me.
You should look at importing them from the UK, much cheaper. You'll be suprised. Delivered to your door within a few days. I found that the shipping for six was the same as four, so get six. The total price from Minisport UK was a little cheaper than MiniSpares UK.
Do it now before there is a GST on ALL imported goods and the dollar falls further.

The exchange rate and courier costs have gone really bad recently..
$139 x 4 = $556 locally for A008

$630 for 4 shipped to me (NSW 2500) (minispares UK) - thats 184 pounds for tyres and 164 pounds shipping
$920 for 6 shipped - thats 276 pounds tyres and 227 pounds shipping

$640 for 4 shipped to "Australia" (minisport UK)- thats 162 pounds for tyres and 190 pounds shipping
$920 for 6 shipped- thats 244 pounds for tyres and 262 pounds shipping

Using the current exchange rate and rounding to the nearest A$10

Minisport Australia are quoting A008s for $135 plus freight.

And then valves, tyre disposal, fitting and balancing on top. $139 is good

Dunno about A008 but the better tyre AO32 from Minisport UK is $684 delivered compared to $876 (your quote) for four tyres delivered to your door.

Nah buy a008s from here.

Falkens last forever but don't grip like an A008, wet or dry. I drove a Mk2 S yesterday with a set on, they don't turn in like my Yokos either.

What is available in 165/70/10 these days? Yokies A008's and AO32r, Falken's and is that it? Bridgstone died years ago correct?

I used up four (4) 12" Falken tyres driving One Lap of Oz at a pedestrian pace...2 shot by Adelaide, 2 more shot on getting back to Brissy. If <30,000 kms. is lasting forever, there you have it.

I would use 12" Yokie 539s but none were available in OZ (yes from UK but I was in Canada and going to Oz).

Rick,
10" Falken FK07Es are much harder than their 12" ones. They last great (I'd say 2x Yokos) but don't grip... :lol:

Ended up buying 4x JBW Minilight with 032's, landed for $940
Also gives me +32 offset so I can ditch the arches

Now time for a brake conversion.

What is the favoured way of sourcing S Brake Hubs?
Local 8.4 hubs and import new discs and calipers?

Post subject:  Re: 10" Tyres in Brizzy
If you need hubs along with the rest I'd buy the kit.
The drum to 7.5" S disc brakes kit with Timken bearings is around $1030 at Karcraft, I'd try local prices before buying in from UK. Airfreight is becoming a killer and the exchange rate is making it worse.
Be aware quality varies a bit between suppliers now, particularly re swivel hubs and their balljoints.
