hi guys,

so getting to the stage where im thinkimg about tyres going back onto my car (yay!), am looking at 165/70 10inch tyres, and after talking to a few people around the place continental are a good tyre, but they dont seem to make 10inch ones :( what sorts of tyre are good for the mini? the car will be used for general road use and would like to take it on the odd hillclimb.

have read on these forums a lot of people use yokohamas, are these any good?

cheers

I agree and use them. A032R are better but wear fast in road use.
