Hello there,

I am no expert, but I have just sold the original Minilite-style wheels from my Mainstream Cooper. These had Yokohama A539 165/60/12 tyres fitted to them.

Hi,

165 section tyres will fit no problem. The range isquite extensive these day. Only thing to remember is make sure the tyre has the correct profile. If I remember correctly this 60. IE 165/60-12.
