I'll vouch for the A032R's. Great, sticky tires.

Anyone obtained any of them lately? I ordered a set from Minisport back in early December and still have not received them. SHas anyone had any luck getting them from any other vendors - or is there a shortage?

Cancelyour order from Minisport and order some from Huddersfield Spares. Its cheaper and theyll be with you in 2 days max.

Thanks for the heads up!

165/70 x 10" Dunlop R7's from Japan with the classic 1960's CR65 racing tread pattern are now available for sale in the UK from Minispares, Mr Tyre Motorsport and Vintage Tyres and have had good feedback from Mini owners in the MCR who have privately imported them in the past.

I'll be running on A032R's once all the snow has gone! Not so sure how well they would handle in the snow and ice!

Min-its always seem to have plenty of them, & while on the subject of A032R's, I have read a lot about how quickly they wear out, I'm told they are available in different compounds & I wonder if anyone has compared the wear rate between those compounds.

Falkens are great if on a budget but if you are not out every day they will last for ever. Mine are 6 years old, half worn and have lost a lot of their grip, so I should have gone for a softer tyre in the first place

I'm running a full set of Goodyear GT80's on my 10's. So far they seem like a good tire and they have a nice looking tread pattern.

kumho do a very good commuter tyre with very good snow and wet road holding abilities but obviously road holding in the dry is somewhat diminished.
