Same here, four for the price of three works out at $105 each. I couldn't say no to that. Cheaper than Falkens :)

Bob Jane (the tyre business) should be celebrating today (and giving huge discounts) as there has just been a major win over Bob Jane (the person) for his continuing misrepresentations that he is associated with the business and his misuse of the business name.

It is so sad how old Bob has pretty well lost it over the years with crazier and crazier claims and blatent disregard for the outcome of court decisions.

… now I'm off to enquire about price and availability for a set of 10" A032R's. Not holding my breath they'll be able to help?

I think you will find that A032Rs are only sold here through Yokohama Motorsport dealers. Eg Gordon Leven in NSW, or Stuckeys in Vic.
It will be MUCH cheaper to bring them in from UK.

On the same topic, I was ab bob janes the other day (getting tyres for a friends car) and I asked them about 10" tyres. They reckoned that the falkens where what most mini people asked for. I've been using A008's and I think they're great - what's the comparison? They said they could get the yokos in, but the falkens were more popular.

My daughter and I bought a set each of A008's from Gordon Levin for $417 fitted and balanced.
The deal is through yokohama so it is available from anyone that sells Yokohama until the end of this month.

$505 for A008's & $540 for A032R's from MS UK, including post. So A008's are cheaper here.

You should have heard us at Bathurst in the early 90s when Falken Tyres first came on the scene in Production car racing, we had a supply of free tyres and were working directly with one of their top tyre engineers.
Unfortunately he didn't speak any English. Oh the Falken fun we had! :mrgreen:

We used to run 165x 10 Bridgestones, can't remember what the actual code was.
