Thanks,

Do you mean this size tyre Peter?

Thanks people,I need a 12 inch front I know you cant get the 4" jobs so I turned up a half inch bit of ally and sandwiched it in between the split rim so now got a 4 and half inch so need to know if the 12 inch Yoko`s will fit,

Pete, you given up the idea of going to 10" wheels then? I recall when the Ledermanns were running the ex Quaife sponsored Windle that had 12" wheels and they used Dunlops? Not sure why - whether they could not source Yokohamas in the size or if they prefered the Dunlop.

I had loads of problems getting eligible and decent 12" tyres.

Dunlop don't make them that often and they had ran out when I needed them. So I changed to 10" all round.

Being a tight Git, I have a genuine Pagehiln 4 x 12 front wheel that I actually bought new from him in the late 70`s so I thought I`d use it as it has twin discs but I do know that Yoko do a 12" low profile that is the same rolling radius as a 10" but its a tad wider than 4",the reason for all this is I started building another chassis and am trying to use up all my odds and sods,12" are a problem, Monsieur George Rozez,he of the ex GP 500 Rennsport and nearly 80 may have to quit because he cant find a 12x4 and he cant widen the wheel because that would mean new forks,and so it goes on,I guess the 12" is the same width as the 10 which presumably is a metric 5"

Monsieur Peter, George Rozez needs a 12inch tyre for his sidecar, the rennsport has 16inch wheels. When i get home from Jersey I am sure I have a complete sidecar wheel also [as rare as roching horse poo] a 300 by 16 dunlop i will look in the shed. Dont think Yoko do a 12inch tyre, modern small cars have these,try local tyre depot.. cheers D & C
