Not bad tire but it's not perfect for bumpy roads like we have in Portugal. Nice on high ways and main roads. Not so good on wet because they are really rush and hard. Thinking change to Pirellis Pzero run flat. Who advice me to do this ? Is it the best run flat tire for my mini jcw ?

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What MINI Factory JCW 2009 (59 Plate) drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I have gone through many brands of tires and have to say these tires, especially at the price they are to its competitors - amazing. Exceptional summer grip and greatly balanced for use in the wet too. The only marks down I give are for the tire wear, not for how quick they get down to 1.6mm because the compound is great and they seem to be lasting forever but its the block pattern. They are almost triangular to a certain point so as the tire wears, the original tire pattern fades away to - well before the life of the tire.
However, totally recommended, I am a high speed, mainly motorway and country/winding roads driver.

These run flat tires came with Mini Factory JCW in 205/45/17 V84.The tires felt hard throughout their life and tramlined and torque steered constantly. The road noise was good and confort moderate. I would not purchase again due to the cost of replacement - £160 per wheel fitted. I have opted for Mitchelin Pilot Sport 3 205/45/17 W88 XL as i had these on Mini Cooper S 2003 and they transformed the dry and wet cornering, braking and complete removed tramlining and lessened talk steer.
