Car Forum / MINI / May 2005Tyres
Here's an easy one for all you out there. I have some 5 X12 Minilites that I'd like shod. Whets the best size to use without modifying the original arches? The car is an 82 city. Also,any idea as to the best place to purchase from ? Andy Simple - go for 165/60/12. I got Falken tyres - not a bad make,but you can get better. mine were £25 ea. so you're looking at £30 from a tyre place + fitting. never go for the cheaper 145/70/12 option - not worth the time or money. hope that helps Ryan > Here's an easy one for all you out there. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Andy >> Here's an easy one for all you out there. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> >> Andy > Simple - go for 165/60/12.

So, 145/10 on standard steel wheels, or 165/70/10 on wider alloys. TFP err!!! read the post!!!!! he says he wants to put 5x12 minilites on it! - so - my choice of 165/60/12 tyres would actually fit! - yours would mean he would have to stretch the diameter 2 inch! stooooopid > Er, 82 City =10 inch wheels! > > So, 145/10 on standard steel wheels, or 165/70/10 on wider alloys. > > TFP Hi Andy If you dont mind spending 350 a tyre go for Yokohama A539 in 165/60 x 12 size - amazing tyre, superb wet or dry!
