Just looking for 4 165/70 R10 tyres for my mini. Didn't realise it'd be quite so hard! Most places I call just laugh!

I'm between Nottingham and Birmingham. Where do you suggest?

Thanks

I, generally, get mine via internet. Better prices. Then, if I don’t fit them myself, I get them fitted and balanced in a tyre place.

 

https://www.tyrecomp.../165-70-r10.htm

£58 a corner, inc. VAT and delivery

 

You might find cheaper.

I’m in Australia and any tyre shop here can supply and fit them. Most won’t have them in stock but can get them in within a couple of days

A little cheaper at MiniSpares.  With TMF+ discount if you buy more then you'll save even with delivery charge . Even better if you need other stuff too.

 

They stock other makes too.

I've had good luck with Minispares too.....I'm in the US and while I can get them from other sources here, I find it's far less expensive to buy them at Spares, even with shipping. That may change tho as I see the exchange rate keeps going up and shipping rates do too.

 

But, if you want to play, you've got to pay.  I like the Yokohama A008's.

I've bought from Bullmotifminispares in the past. Think Minispares sell them as well. Your other problem is finding someone who can fit 10" tyres. Modern tyre fitting equipment isn't geared up for 10". Sometimes specialist workshops for Quad bikes or Grass cutting machinery can help with fitting.

as I found out when getting new tyres fitted.
Make sure the [in my case WALLY] doesn't shove his trolley jack under the floor.

I'm sure my scream was heard for miles.

Looking back its probably better to treat all tyre fitters as idoits and tell them to jack under the subframe.

I just take them the wheels. Blackcircles you can order 10" tyres
