Hi, I just bought my new MCS-07 last week and I am really enjoying it. I got LiB w/black top, premium pkg, DSC, winter pkg.
This car is amazingly fun fun fun to drive. I really enjoy it yesterday when I drove it in the snow around Boston. I am thinking of buying winter tire (15 inches) to get better grip. Any suggestions?

 

Welcome to NAM.

It's too late for you now!

You have been assimilated.

 

You must be looking into wheels and tires for winter use .Try Bridgestone Blizzack or Michelin x-ice , both very good for winter bad weather .

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I currently use conti all weather run flat tires (16 inches) but find it hard on bumpy road. I will buy 15 inches winter for the coming winter. I love my car!!!

 

Hiya and welcome to the MINI world! Definitely get rid of those run flats at least for winter - you'll be much happier and the drive will be quite a change.

I recommend buying the Bridgestone Blizzak tires as well. I bought mine from the Tire Rack, in addition to four 15" black steel wheels.

They came installed on the wheels, inflated, balanced, and literally ready-to-install. It couldn't get any easier then that!

The best part is, I save money each spring and fall, because I don't have to pay some tire shop to switch from summer to winter tires on my good alloy wheels. I have a dedicated winter steel wheel, (which I don't care if the salt corrodes), keeping my expensive summer alloys salt-free.

I do my own wheel/tire changes each spring and fall, and it is free labor!
