pricey ;)

There's a place called vintage tyres that does the old style tyres but I'm not sure they do 10", you'd have to check it out also I think they are pretty pricey.

wasn`t there an ad in mini magazine where they promoted the older style tyre ?

Thanks guys they are pricey! Will have to save up I think it would be best with proper tyres fitted?

Totally agree. After doing such a super job, you dont want to "cut corners" .
