Don’t forget about the Yoky, decent and a nice looking tyre for a similar price to the Blockley.

The Falkens are not called ditch-finders for nothing! :?

Yes really like the Yokohama pattern, but they don’t do 70 series in it.

For a good in the wet tyre you only have the option of the Blockley or a Yokohama GT Special unless you want to pay £166 a tyre for the Dunlop Aquajets that are great in the wet and not so great in the dry.

Forget the nasty Falkens and the better but still a bit lethal in the wet Marshals.

I`ve driven the last 19 winters on 10" tyres and the Falkens were by far the worst, even Camacs were a lot better and they were shaped like fifty pence pieces :lol:

I`m now using Blockley and when they wear out I`ll be buying them again, nice tyres.

Another vote for Blockley from me.

Why do you want a 70 series?
145/80 is the usual for the Mini

If you want 70% aspect ratio in 10 inch diameter tyres you H A V E to use 165mm tread width!

New one on me, nice to see some 145s, sensible price as well.

I have always preferred the handling of road mini on 145s
