Those wheels are nice, One you switch to NON RF the ride will feel much better. I would keep it the same size tire.
These are very nice wheels for the CM or PM. After seeing them in person. Wow , very nice.

I was dragging my feet on changing out my tires, but after last weeks, snow storm that brought about 5" of heavy wet stuff to the Philadelphia area, and a near miss collision with a Fed-Ex truck, I have schedule the swap. Going with Michelin's Pilot A/S 3 all season 225/45/19 non-run-flat. The Pirelli’s that are on the car (second time I had Pirelli’s on a car that had zero grab in the snow) are POS in my opinion.
When I hit my brakes I was sliding directly for a parked Fed-Ex truck, 1/2 on the road, 1/2 off, I don't remember hearing or feeling the ABS kicking in (which has me a little concerned). Only when I took my foot off the clutch and brake, did all 4 wheels grab and slow me down enough that I could steer clear.
Can't wait for some new rubber

You would be much better with steelies and some snow tires. You can fit the 16" MINI Factory silver steelies and save the nice 19" for summer.

We have matching the center caps linked also.
Then get a good set of snow tires and the Paceman will drive much better.

Thanks for the suggestion, I was actually considering changing the wheels, but to be honest, I barely have time to blow my nose, let alone swap out tires every season.
I went and got the all season Michelin's and man, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! Highly recommend scrapping the Runflats. Already drives like a different car. Don't know about the snow yet.

Welcome. 19" and wide tires are hard in the snow, good you got the non RF. But Snows and steelies will make it a tank. I highly recommend those. If you have a set of wheels dedicated to snow and then summers all you have to do if flip the wheels.
Good luck and you when have a chance to drive with snow tires on a CM or PM i think you will like them.
