So it is 12". Who in historics uses 12", I thought that they all used 10s. then people who know best use 13s. 12s are a middle ground, my favorite actually, but no-one makes 12" slicks. Don't be so ignorant my dear friend... There is a class in FIA up to 71. We're allowed 6X12 wheels. 13s are illegal. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

I always get confused with the cut off in dates for vintage hisorics etc. Surely no mini in 1971 came with 12" wheels? Of course this will show more of my ignorance, but I though the 12" wheel was first fitted to the 1275GT in '74. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

1968: http://mk1-performance-conversions.co.uk/vita_min.htm It hasn't really got to do with what they were delivered with. No Minis were ever delivered with Arden og Mowog 8 ports either. Its' got to what BMC homologated for them. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

why did they go for 12"s? Because back then, and possibly now, you could get MUCH better tyres in 12". As you can see from the picture of the Britax, the OD is larger as well combating excessive heat. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Interesting, shit's on everyones arguments that 10s are better, when even the fastest minis of the day binned them for 12s Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I cannot admit anything, but my car certainly felt more stable on A048Rs and 5X12 than A032 on 6X10. When that is said, I guess much of it was down to the setup of the car. What surprised me alot was that there seem to be little difference in weight between the 10s and the 12"s, but 13" are significantly heavier. I've also read that A048 is a "new" tyre, whereas A032R is really old hat. It's not only the thread that's different. On 1st Oct, 2009 mini13 said:
