    Amazon has the OEM Yokohama's. Free shipping if you have Prime. Put them on your wishlist & wait for them to drop to 1/2 price.

        We get the Yokohamas from Discount Tire, when they wear out early, Discount refunds the difference. The Yokohama is THE tyre for the car if you have the money, no 60mph shake.

          Sorry to resurrect an old thread folks, but I was hoping to clarify something. Every online search I do points to the festivas taking a 165/70SR12, but that conflicts with what's written on the doorjamb.....I'm trusting the festiva's own printed labels, but why would the internet have decided on a larger tire size?

            165’s were on the aluminum wheels. Stock steel wheels used 145/12’s from the factory. Yokohama’s were factory on my 90

              Yup, 2 sizes. My car has both on the door. They are the same diameter, just different widths.
              The 165's arent really available in 12's anymore but they are in 14inch!

                Thanks for that link Ryan!
                4x 165-70/12 Yokohamas showed up. Even ordered on Black Friday they were expensive, got them mounted on the alloy wheels, 2x were perfect ballanc with no weight!

                  I see 145SR12 in the sticker above, too so there may be some variance.

                  I used a tool on Google maps to lay out a measured course from where I'll be dropping them off to balance back to my drive at home that is exactly 6.8 miles. If it's at all close, that should be fine.
                  Tire size.........Diameter.......Sidewall height
                  145/80-12......21.13"............4.57"
                  165/70-12......21.09"............4.55"

                  Used this simple tire size calculator. Charlie says a 165 width is optimal for Festivas.

                    Which of these tire brand choices would you go with for stock steel wheels?

                    Hi all-- have a Ford Festiva L with the 12" stock steel wheels-- the tires on the car right now say 155 80 R12--

                    have been calling around to some tire stores in the Wichita area

                    which of these seems the best pick to you?

                    Ironman 155 80 R12 , no mileage rating, Chinese tire, 261$ mounted and balanced

                    Maxxis MA-202 155 80 R12, all-season tread, 50K mileage rating, 312$ mounted and balanced (includes a freight charge)

                    Multi-Mile Classic 155 80 R12, all-season tread, 50K mileage rating, 275$ mounted and balanced

                    Are there any "red flags" against any of these tires?

                    Thanks much for any helpful input--
                    Steve

                      I had the classic once... Maybe 10% wet traction. Never again.

                      Maxxis makes excellent trailer tires, but I have no idea about their auto tires.

                        Thank you. The car may soon spend a lot of time in a wet climate (pacific northwest). Any other thoughts?

                          Yeah...upgrade to 13's or better yet, 14's. Super easy to find really high quality tires in 14".

                            Are you willing to order tires online? Or do you only shop local?

                              If you are going to run in the wet, the Achilles Economist 165/55-14 is beyond amazing!
                              If you must stick with 12's, a member in Tennessee has a used set of Yokohama's I covet and only wants $100 for them. I had to pay $97 each for new!
                              The Yokohama is perfect on our cars, but does not have the grip of the Achilles.

                                Thanks-- what 14" wheels fit the bolt pattern? Or 13"?
