The tires grip well but they will 'skip' on some corners with a bumpy surface which is scary! Ive been using this tire model for over 40K miles but have decided runflats are just to harsh on the car itself and they wear so quickly on my 2012 Mini Cooper JCW with it's camber!

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 Cooper Coupe drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
A lot of tire for the money. Using them as alternative to winter tires as we don‘t get much snow at all. Dry and wet roads > no issues. And surprisingly got on icy roads. Comfortable and long lasting. Will buy again!
Only recently fitted but these tires have transformed the drive quality of my Mini Coupe. Highly recommended as a run-flat option.
