Consider this past discussion: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=96141 Personally I would avoid Falken. Yoko A008 are great tyres and often available on special. There are also Yoko A032R and Dunlop Formula R at a higher price |

I agree on the Yoko A008's, great tyre, loads of grip and wear quite well. We get ripped off on the price though... |

Then again, around $130 fitted for one of the best possible road tyres isn't too bad. Spending your money on good tyres is always a sound investment! For most people with a weekend car they'll last for many years too The nice Bridgestone RE002 tyres I fitted to my Mazda were about double that each... |

Try buying some 265/35 R19 Michelin Pilot sports (M3) or 205/70 VR14 XWX michelins (Dino246), then you will feel my pain ......... I had forgotten how relatively cheap Mini tyres are. |

Coincidentally, I just (today) got a set of RE003's in 205/50/16 installed with the Bridgestone buy 3 get the 4th free deal for $450 The crap tyres I got on the mini they stung me $100 a piece fitted ($400)! |

$130 for A008's fitted is a very good price... |

The Yoko A032R are orders of magnitude better than the A008s in my book. I can't recall spinning the A032rs, but the A008 happens without much effort. But of course more expensive and wear much much quicker. I've put A008s on the front while I fine tune the suspension so I don't go through another set so quickly like I did the first. So unless you want crazy sticky, the A008s are a great choice on balance for a road car IMO. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |
