Just joined. Have a 2006 Mini Cooper, Chili red, white top, auto trans(don't laugh til you try one!) Car has 15 inch wheels and tires. I need to move up to 16's. Can I get some tire recommendations, please, from someone who has some road experience. Mainly doing interstate and city driving... not rally or going crazy.

Welcome! As for the auto...why laugh? A lot of people don't want a manual car...nuff said. And for the tires/rims. Post a message in the wheel thread, you'll get better results there. I can tell you off of the bat to go with 16"s (better ride, and performance) and go with some nice tires. Another thing to consider in your decision is if you want runflats or not.
