With the price of gas going up my Mini will be my primary driver, except when it's wet then it's the pickup.

Sorry Matt - my mistake.In their "vintage" tire selector, if you change the aspect ratio, it blanks out the diameter and gives all the "165" tires they offer, which included the 165/60 R14 Firestone.
If you select the tire you want and click on the "Get Quote" button, it opens the quote dialog. You then select the province of delivery "Saskatchewan" and it builds the quote. See attached image.
If you want to place an order, I guess you fill in the rest. Nice that it does not collect data on you until you want to actually order.

I haven't driven the thing in 3 years now.
As always, Dan is probably right.
p.s.-good on all the spammers Dan. I keep looking for a "like" button, ha ha

My tires have been summer driven, garaged, and are still in good condition. Probably half worn (no idea of mileage), no drying, cracks or other visual problems. Tread grip OK on dry pavement, not so good on wet. Mounted on alloy wheels similar to what you have, Matt.
They fit well in the wheel arches, though your knuckle joints have to be good or they may rub on plastic wheel arches at full lock.
I suspect the Falken ZE-914 is a modern replacement for the FG-09G.
Talon Tire currently offers
Falken ZE-914 165/60R12 71H for $115 CDN
Firestone Multihawk 165/60R12 75H for $124 CDN
Yokohama A539 165/60R12 71H for $144 CDN
or Yokohama Advan A048-R 165/55R12 for $189 CDN
.

I run 12" Falken FK09 's (I think that's the number--car is in storage and not easily reached) purchased from Talon Tire in QC....delivered to my door...quite some time ago now...but it was a good deal.
I like them.
