I think Mini Sport have them in stock, not cheap though.

Are rocking horses rare these days? :D

I had the same problem mate. Yoko apparently only make them in batches. I went to Tweaks as it is local, but they told me it'd be ages before they could get some. Might be worth a try again soon though as it was over a month ago that I tried.

I ended up having to get A008s though :dontgetit:

I'd still say A008s are better than most tyres, comparable to Falkens, but better than Dunlop SPs (in 10") and much better than Ca-'ditch finder'-mac.

Only thing I don't like about 032s is the road noise (although it does make a beautiful hum slowing down for traffic lights!).

I love that noise! Its quite soothing at higher speeds, so much so that my missus can happily fall asleep in my Mini at 80mph!! Although I only started hearing it once I did the Vauxhall conversion and got rid of the straight cut box :)

I knew that Yoko made them in batches, and I can kinda see why there'd be a shortage of them over the winter, its not as if demand for those tyres in Europe is going to be very high, but I bet they sell quite a few to the Mini owners in Japan!

Hope your talking about 80mph when abroad and sticking to forien speed limits Tom :P

Bet you miss that whine of the straight cut drops :w00t: Go on admit it.

Was talking to simon@minispares earlier about A032s and he said that yoko only produce them in the race season. He still hasnt got a date of when yoko are going to re-start production, so go and buy some Camacs :)
