alex.. thanks for the info on nankang tyres.. I just put sets on couple minis..  drive ok. later  bc

I'm reliably informed that Nankang tyres are Yokohama's budget brand.

Not, 10 or 12 inch but l just found a set of 13 inch Nanking tires 175/13/50 in California

$283.00 US shipped from California to Niagara Falls NY, taxes & shipping included in this price

The low profile 13 inchers are real hard to find in that price range, $64.00 a tire

I realize it is in bad form to advertise someone else's product but Mini Mania could not fill this order

I have had good luck with Nanking tires in the past, low end but great for a mini

Whee, it does sound like you need a little pumping up! If the Camac was rubbing when the car was full, the Falken is most likely going to rub, too.

Thanks all! I ordered the FALKEN-10, 145/80. 

I've been most worried about the height - when I had the Camac on as a spare it was hitting the top of the arch - too tall (with 4 adults and luggage in car). I suspect my hydro suspension may need pumping up... we shall see.

165 Falkens have got really bulgy sidewalls compares to Yokos.

Maybe wider Whee. 

Thanks - assuming the Falken was taller?

Just be aware that tyre sizes are "nominal"...  A 165/70X10 Falken is sufficiently different in size from a 165/70X10 Bridgestone that the Bridgie will fit the rear of my Traveller (standard S set up) but the Falken won't.... both are fitted to identical wheels.  the 165 Yoko is somewhere in between in size.

Cheers, Ian

Whee, the way you are likely to use E.G. the FALKEN-10, 145/80 tire should do you well.

Just for fun, here is a tire size calculations page, I use it all the time when trying to cram the biggest tire possible onto the leMons racecars...
There is a tab where you can compare different tire sizes.

Hmm. I have Dunlops on right now and they look great, but they are so expensive which is why I kept these tires much longer than I should have done.

I'm not certain on the height though - it doesn't say on the tires. It says Dunlop Sr 10 and I've been assuming that is 145/80/10.

I'm a little confused though because I have the spare tire on which is a Camac Sr 10 which seems taller than the Dunlops.

If price is no object, then the Dunlops are hard to beat.

Bill, 145/80/10 is the standard skinny size...

whee.  think you will find tha 145/80 10 inch is too TALL for you mini.. needs to be 19.5 inches tall and most 145/80 tyres are 21.5 inches tall... check out talontyre in montreal  as they have much more choices than in the USA.. later bc
