Let's Talk Tires

I have a 2016 Countryman JCW with the factory 18 rims set up as my snow set. These are wrapped with a set of Pirelli SottoZero snows and I am pretty happy with them. For my summer set, I upgraded to the 19 spider option that came with the P Zero Run Flats. I hate them. They are loud, hydroplane like crazy, make the thing ride like a red wagon, and they just don't last. At about 15K, they are toast.

I looking at replacements, I can get a non-run plat version of the P Zero, but the reviews are mixed. Please offer you best suggestions on what I should be replacing these with, come next Spring.

Thank you!

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+....I have 225/45/18's which is the stock size for the optional MINI Fan Spoke Wheels for the Countryman. Non-runflats! So far I love these tires...great ride, look great, and much better than stock 17" runflats on the 17" MINI wheels. The wheels and tires TRANSFORM the car!

I have Michelin Pilot 4S on my R60 JCW with the 19" wheels, 100x better than the Pirelli that comes on the car.

Did you run 225 or 245?
