MINI Tires

Replaced the original bridgestone potenza run flats, my findings after 20000 miles + are very positive due to the firm set up of the vehicle the noise and comfort was improved quite significantly, understeer in wet conditions was where I found the most improvements, I can now push far more without the fear of loosing traction, I have pushed these tires fairly hard and have got 20000+ they are down to around 2-3 mm now. The walls suit well to the setup of the vehicle. I'm running them at 31 psi which helps with comfort and wet grip (My preference) the bridgestone tires had no sidewall flexibility (due to run flat strengthening) which mad them horrific in the snow and terrible in the wet although I've not used the car in snow yet with the Goodyears.

I recently bought a 3 year old Mini and was completely in love with it.....until it started raining! It had Michelin's on the front and Rockstone's on the back. The back end would go at very slow speeds and it terrifies me to go out in it now :( As soon as pay day comes they're going off!! Please don't buy these, they are truly dangerous!!!!
