Bob Jane used to, dunno if they still do.
Bring 4 or 6 in from UK like we are shortly, it's well worth it. :wink:

I think they're the 12" equivalents of the A008's. could be wrong though.

They say that all the time, been doing it for years, but the A008 tyres mysteriously appear by magic when a wad of $$$ is produced. :wink:

Like I said before- just bring 6 in from UK and sell some if you don't need em all. (I'll take 2, thanks 8) )
Stuff Yoko Australia, they are a pack of dills.

[edit] for example, http://www.minisport.com/mini-spare-par ... 70R10.html

Nah A032s are the only 10s that Yokohama Australia still list :
http://www.yokohama.com.au/downloadfile.aspx?fileid=14490

All the larger sizes they have replaced A032 with A048
A050 is the new pattern/compound, but they only make one size in 13" and it's too tall.
