My new mini comes in a couple of weeks - a couple questions
I'm super excited. It's a F55 Justa. I've done a bunch of research about questions I have, but still have some remaining.
Thanks!
- According to the vin decoder, I'm getting runflat tires. I live in New Hampshire, and am planning on putting snow tires on in a couple of months. Do I have a spare tire with the car, or do I need to get runflat snows? (or risk a flat).
- I've got Navi XL. Does anyone know if Windows Media playlists are supported? I read that .flac files are, which is great. Now just need to figure out how to setup my playlists so I can load everything onto the car.
Thanks!

I haven't done much with playlists. I've looked on other forums and the .m3u and .m3u8 files work. People do have trouble with them.
Some report only playlists with relative file names work.
Some have better luck with .m3u8.
Try to keep your folder tree simple.
When you have lots of files and folders, it can take a long time for the car to process everything [minutes or hours?].

If you live in an area that might see snow maybe once a year, then yeah I'd probably skip on winter tires too though.

negative. All-seasons just aren't meant for snow. You won't be able to go, stop, or turn nearly as well as you will with a dedicated winter tire. Winter tires will outperform the all-season on snow, ice, slush, and cold pavement.

I suppose if it was in the budget it would be nice to have mounted sets of tires for both summer and winter use.

Fully agreed, which is why I ordered the summer tires, and will be putting on winters :-) I would rather have ideal warm weather tires in the summer and ideal cold weather tires in the winter, then one that compromises in both conditions.

i have an extra set of wheels for the winter and did not bother with the TPMS sensors. yeah, you have to look at the light for a few months, but the system is a joke anyways due to the number of false alarms.
WARNING! ALL YOUR TIRES ARE AT 32 PSI EXCEPT THE ONE THAT IS ONLY 31.5!!! PULL OVER NOW OR PREPARE TO DIE!

If it's much more then that, I will just ignore the warning.
