Input Requested -Tire Options For 12"X6" Rose Petal Wheels

[California Steve]

I have 12X6 Rose Petal wheels on my 2000 Rover Mini and I looking for tire options. There are VERY FEW tire options available for 12" wheels over here in the States. Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks...

I guess you need road tyres ? Does yokohama is imported to US ? A539 is the best option for me.

Hi. Sorry I can't add to the thread but I am seriously considering giving my 'S' some extra legs and swapping from 10" wheels to 12" Rose petals. Where do you buy them from? Have yet to see them for sale (Minispares only seem to do 10"s) Cheers

MiniMania offers both the A539 and A048 and Falken:

But I can't realy comment on how they perform, I had only some short passenger rides on cars with them on.

Do you mean extra legs as in more top speed? If so you'll be diasppointed.

If you're in the US then Tirerack carry Mini tyres at significantly less cost then MM (I've been thrown off the MM website for pointing this out in the past
