I'd go for 165/60 because of experience on my old spi Cooper<br>
That came originally with 145/70 12's;  table beneath here also shows there's less difference to the original in that choice .. apart from that I think 165/60 is better available here in the Netherlands ;-)<br>

Subject: [Mini] Tire sizes<br>
<br>
I think I know the answer to this question before I ask it...but...<br>
<br>
The '81 Mini that I imported to the US from England earlier this year<br>
has 165/70R12 tires (or tyres!) on it.  One of them has a slow leak and<br>
another has a split around part of the sidewall.  So I'm looking into<br>
new tires all the way around.  I can get 165/70 Nankangs here in the US<br>
for less than $50 per tire.  But I'd really like to go with 165/60 Yoko<br>
A539s.  However, to do that, I would have to import them from across the<br>
pond and pay considerably more.<br>
<br>
If you had a choice between 165/70 and 165/60, which would you choose<br>
for a street-driven car and why?!?<br>
