Mini One

The Mini One offers a good, yet firm, ride and brilliant go-kart handling. Factory fitted with either Pirelli P7 or Dunlop SP Sport 01 tyres, runflats also come as an option. The Goodyear NCT5 provides additional grip to the road, reduced aquaplaning, improves tracking and delivers a quieter, smoother ride ideal for the Mini.

Mini Cooper

Smooth and responsive, and dripping with style, the Mini Cooper is fitted with Pirelli Eufori runflats. Replacement runflats are an option, however there is a limited choice, which includes the Avon ZZ3, Dunlop SP Sport 01, Goodyear Excellence or Bridgestone Potenza runflat. You may choose to replace with non runflats such as the Toyo T1R or Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico, but you are advised to consult the vehicle manufacturer if you are considering using non run flat tyres.

Mini Countryman

With the Mini-ness maintained, the Countryman also fulfils on its promise of being a vehicle that’s functional. Fitted with Pirelli Eufori runflats like the Cooper there are a limited choice of replacements including the Avon ZZ3, Dunlop SP Sport 01, Goodyear Excellence, ContiPremiumContact or Bridgestone Potenza runflat.

Our National Sales Team can provide impartial advice about a number of suitable replacement tyres for your Mini depending on your model and driving style. Call now on 0800 028 9000.

Background Information on Mini

Originally produced by the British Motor Corporation and its successors from 1959 to 2000, Mini is now owned by the BMW Group that has produced a redesign of the traditional Mini since April 2001.

Many of the range feature runflat tyres as standard, a technology which Mini appeared to be moving away from, until the release of the Countryman sporting runflats once again.

Runflats enable you to drive safely up to 150 miles at 50mph following a puncture, a Mini runflat tyre is marked with a RSC logo on the sidewall. It is recommended that run flat tyres are always replaced with a similar product, as run flats have much stiffer sidewalls than those in traditional tyres and this is taken into account by vehicle manufacturers when they design their suspension and steering systems.

You are advised to consult the vehicle manufacturer if you are considering using non run flat tyres. etyres supplies a range of replacement run flat tyres to meet the needs of all BMW cars.
Mini has worked with tyre manufacturers to develop its own Mini-specific version of the most popular tyres. etyres supply and fit these manufacturer approved tyres, which feature a star on the sidewall. These tyres have been designed and fine tuned to work at their optimum when fitted to a Mini car.

Changing Mini Cooper Tyres

Changing Mini Cooper Car Tyresshould require 3 primary choices:

• The overall quality of the tyre (durability, wear, ratings, cost) desired for the Mini Cooper
• The speed rating that the Mini Cooper Tyres should have depending upon the driver's average and occasional "fastest-driven" speed
• Deciding if local and/or regional weather patterns merit keeping two sets of tyres for dry vs. wet road conditions

Further, if an owner wishes to put tyres on different sized wheels for the Mini Cooper, a careful decision about what size tyres will be valid for that Mini Cooper is required. If, for example, a larger wheel size is desired, then the profile (height) and/or the width must be reduced to avoid damaging the drive train. A 195/65/15 tyre for that Mini Cooper, for instance, on a 17" rim, could legitimately become a 165/65 (narrower) or a 195/55 (shorter) but could not stay a 195/65 as before. A handy calculator for changing tyre sizes can be found here.

All tyres for any Mini Cooper vehicle should be fitted using the proper torque, according to the manufacturer's specifications. Torque is the amount of pressure used to tighten the wheel nuts. For tyres that are fitted to the following Mini Cooper models, the torque settings are listed. Also, the recommended air pressure to put into tyres for Mini Cooper models is listed. Further, the alternate tyre size for Mini Cooper models.
