Hi ausminians if your looking for 10" tyres in melbourne this may help you.

Here's the email i sent to yokohama I contacted them asking about 10" A008's and A032's tyres and this was there reply.

Hi William,

Yokohama make both patterns in a 165/70/10, however the A032R can only be purchased through our motorsport dealer.

Your local motorsport dealer is –

Traction Tyres and More

65 Kelletts Road

Rowville 3178

PH: 9764 2811

Traction Tyres can supply both of these tyres for you.

Cheers Bill

Cheaper to import ao32s from England rather than buy them here.

How much are we talking about please?

I didnt ask for price just availability , you could always ring traction motors up " just remeber to put 03 before the phone number " .

As for imported ones another poster here asked for a quote on delivery to aus , i dont know if he posted it though.

Cheers Bill

I buy my AO32s from Minisport in the UK. I get six at a time as the shipping is the same as for four. This equates to $766 for six or about $128 each delivered to your door within a few days.
My friend's wife works for Yokohama and the cheapest she could get them was $230. I don't think she likes me though.

What carrier do you use to get them from England or who is the carrier that delivers them ?

Midland Wheels in the UK might also worth a try.
They've currently got Yokahama A032R tyres for 59 GB pound each. (about $87 Aus)
I've recently purchased 4, 12"x 5" alloys with Yokahama A048R tyres fitted, balanced and with stainless steel wheel nuts for $1028 delivered to my door by TNT freight in 10 days.

UPS.
Price per tyre is 47.35 UKP.

Midland wheels was cheapest postage found when I investigated 8 x a032rs.
But you have to ask for postcode specific postage, website wont tell you.

On another note Traction do a fair deal on 13" formula ford tyres for those running 13's. The FF racers seem to upgrade unnecessarily and old tyres are sold. If not they put a drill bit through them and dumpster them.

It's not tyres only but Huddersfield was GBP 307.50 + GBP 185 freight for 4 Alloy Minilite lookalikes and A008s fitted balanced nuts and caps - That's about $764 all up

Wow those are impressive figures fm the UK

Its a wonder that Oz distributors haven't wizened up and lowered the retail here. Whether is $87 or $128 there is a 79% mark up at worst for $230.

I'm pleased I asked guys. I'm not in the market just yet, but i wont forget to search this thread when the time is right.

Thanks awesomely (if that is a word...)

OK. That's Yokohamas.

What about:

1 American Racer (non slick - historics)
2 Hoosier (non slick - historics)
3 Dunlop Formula R
4 Other recommended track or track / road 10" rubber:?:

We may as well try and get all of this assembled into one place
