Hey everyone,

So I recently purchased a new set of MINI rims. S-Lites in black. ( I know, even though they're the heaviest rims offered by MINI, it was an amazing deal, and I'm really looking to get a set of 17's in black on my mellow yellow soon.) Anyway, my question I was getting to was.. I currently have the five spoke 16 inch rim on my 2007 R56S. (sidewinder i believe?) With living in central Pa, having moderate amounts of snow at times in the winter, should I just wrap up the 17's in a summer tire, then just keep the sidewinders on the all seasons they have for now, then switch to winter tires? Or should i go ahead, throw some all seasons on the s-lites and just get rid of the sidewinders and get some cash for 'em? I'm really not sure which to do, and I figure no other person would have better advice then all you guys. So any input is welcome. Thanks!

 

If you don't need the cash, keep the 16s and put some winter tires on them.

Get a decent summer tire for the better months of the year, even heavy the S-lights in black will look sharp on your MY MCS.

Just my opinion. But I have 3 sets of wheels, what do I know.
