Yokohama A008!

I use them on my 10x6 Revolutions. Lovely tyres, nice and sticky and reasonable in the wet too.

Only 30 odd pound a tyre too!

A008s get my vote!

I have got A032's on my 10 x 7 Force splits and they are the best you can get and look cool

So far no-one has said anything about 10" falkens... :crazy: A008s should be better than those i guess (or are they?) Anyhow, I believe that I have to forget A032Rs at this point as those wear out so quickly :gimme: I can't even drive back and forth into next IMM with 'em!

I've tried Falkens on 12" wheels (can't remember exactly which model they were though) and A008s. I found the 008s to be pretty good in all weather, obviously not as grippy as the 032s, but good none-the-less. The Falkens were ok, I'd have to say not quite as good as the 008s, I thought they started to lose grip earlier than the 008s in a corner, however they were different minis, different suspension setups.

So far I've used only 12" Falkens so I have no idea how other tires handle compared to them, but that I can say that those tires have no grip on water unless those are nearly brand new (if even then?). I've done 4-wheel slide with those both on dry and wet and the speed wasn't even high (on normal road) and on track the understeer was horrible on wet when I had better grip on back...

Sorry to hi-jack, but have you got any pics of that setup, as it's what I am gonna go for. Are you on Sportpack arches too?
