hello all
ive recently acquired a set of 12x6 alloys, but im having some trouble with the tires for them. im not sure if they even make these tires but ideally im looking for some 175/70/12 tires, don't really care about the make but i realize its an odd size. a friend just got some 13x6 alloys which he has fit 175/50/13 on so i know i can do the width just if anyone knows of any prints that are 175 for 12 inch alloys. id prefer to keep its standard-ish profile but anything close would be fine, just care about the width more than anything really. as i say im just not even sure they make them so if anyone can give me a hand itll be greatly appreciated. thanks all

The tyre you need is 165/60 r12 (or 165/70).

yeah ive had a test tire that was 165/70 i think it was, i think ill get 165 if i absolutely have to but if at all possible id prefer the 175

165/60 R12 is the widest tyre available for 12" Minis (that fits at least)...

good yr a few yrs ago did a 175 70 12 fitted to mini mokes and i wanted some for a mk1 escort and could not get them, 165 60 12 or 165 70 12 is the closest

yeah, hmm, well thats good to know thanks guys, shame really. guess ill just have to go with the 165's, might stick some small spacers on just to kinds make up the look of the width atleast if not the handling. when did good's make the 175/70/12?
