Hi Guys,

I have to replace the two rear tyres on the 850 as they are shot. I am looking at getting some mags in the near future so dont want to waste money on expensive stock tyres. What can you recommend as a good cheap tyre for stock 10inch steelies?

well the bridgestones are ok i guess, if u dont want nothing to fancy i can get a set of falken tyres from factory, standard rim i think is 14570r10? i got a set of 16570r10 on mine and they handle well so far. also i got a set of widened chrome standard rims with chrome nut covers lil rust spots but still look good when cleaned up. 1 rim is servely damaged but can more then likely be repaired

Tyres aren't something to cut costs on.
Why not fork out for the mags and new tyres now?
Not wasting money on anything else that way.

the thing is 165's most probably wont fit on 3.5" wheels

so you have to pick 145's, and theres not much there.

i havent seen falkens in that size.

i think any radial tyre you can buy brand new for a mini is lightyears ahead of the crossply tyres they came out with, so you cant go wrong.

i can only think of one 145 tyre atmo
and thats the kuhmo powerstar

Kumho Powerstars 145/10 are not too bad on a stocko 850 etc with 3.5 steelies. I ran them for years.
Not like the good old days where we had all sorts of good ones to choose from in 145/10.

Strongly recommend the Kumho Powerstar, Cheap tyre that is a great all-rounder. We've been running them on our minis for a while through daily driving, motorkhana, autocross and hillclimb and they perform admirably in all areas.

Not the greatest tyre in the world but good performance with a good price can't be scoffed at.
