Hi All,
I have original RSP Roverlite alloy wheels on my mini, currently fitted with
Can anyone suggest what to put on the wheels? experiences, should I be aware of any problems using other sized tyres? And what about the wall height, do I stick with a wall of 70% on a 165 or should I drop it down to 60?
Thanks in advance again
If you want to keep your 12's then I'd suggest going over to 165/70 R12 sized tyres.
The Yoko A539 are an excellent tyre
The Falkens are a very good all round tyre and can cope with trackdays no probs but not as grippy as yoko. Best for an everyday car as they last quite well.

evening DJ, For new tyres you should go for 165/60/12 for your rims.
124 70s are too thin and balloon like. these will sort you out good and proper. expect to pay £30 per tyre for Falken. i had these on my mayfair and they were good, - not the best mind, but great for the price. Remember to budget for fitting cost and balancing. Some people dont bother balancing rear wheels as there is no real need - until you start swapping front to back for tyre wear. i have all my wheels balanced for this reason.HTH RS
DJ - $ is a little confusing - he says go for 165/70 but then links to
165/60s, i rekon he does mean go for 165 60s.The Yokos $ suggests are brilliant, but as you can see they are pricey. You can get the Falkens a little cheaper from huddersfield mini spares
