I'm getting ready to order new wheels. Since I'm shipping to the US, I want to make sure it's the right size/fit.

 

96 Rover mimni JDM.

 

Currently have 145/70 R12 on the car. Stock/original tires, which I think are the 4.5b x 12.

 

Looking to buy Yoko A539 165/60 R12.

 

TIA.

165/60/12 will fit a 4.5x12 inch rim.

The A539 is good but not great in the wet, so caution is needed if pushing hard... Awesome in the dry though!

For cruising the Falken Ziex Ze914 is also a good budget tyre.

Either tyre should be set to 26 psi (as a start point)

Good thing I don't drive in the rain.

 

What sites offer the Falken?

I'm in the UK, personally my advice is to speak to a local tyre fitter to see what choice they have

Think Falken have discontinued 12 & 13 diameter tyres

A 165/60 12 will definitely fit the standard rover 12 alloy. I have Yoko's on mine.
