Hi all, I've got myself a cabrio needing new tyres (I think they may be the originals!). The tyres on it are 165 60 r12's. Also says this is the size in the handbook. What I am confused about is a sales brochure that says 175 50 r12's. Please help, I want pure originality (albeit I know Dunlop no longer make these sizes). The other question is do I go for the Nankang green sport, Fallen 914's or Yoko A539's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I thought they were all 165/60/12. Thats is what is on ours. I like Yokohama, so that is what i fitted.

1992 & 1994 brochures have 165/60R12

Ummmm, thanks for this. If you look at page 6 on the Cabrio brochure (with the big pic of seats and the wheels in the corner) it defo says 175 50 12's....must be a typo?

Id say a typo left from the earlier brochure

For a budget tyre the Falken Ziex 914 is a good all round tyre, having used the 914s and the A539s they're much the same imo
