Hullo fellow miniots,

I am buying 5 A008's this weekend. Does anyone want a set? maybe we can get it even cheaper? Currently I can get them at $102.50 at a place near me in Greenacre. PM me if you're about to buy a set.

Cheers!

He even rang the rep for Yoko to see if they are still going to be available in the long run and he said if people are still buying them they will still sell them.

Yokos are soft-ish but not slicks. They are great in the wet and have a good wear rate considering the stickiness (apparently as I run bridgies currently)

Righto Pete no worries. I need to get newies before rego time in 1st week of June.

Gordon Leven Tyre Services at Emu Plains (NSW) used to be the Yokie importer at one stage, but i think he only does the race tyres and Avon race tyres now. Try him for slicks Gti
