What tires does MINI install if you order the 17" wheels with the All Season option?

Currently, the selection is the Goodyear Eagle RS-A 205/45-17. These tires are, IMO, 3.5 season tires, and the have no forte on anything. They weigh 30 pounds each, 8 pounds more each than the "performance" Pirelli's. My advice is to get the Pirelli's, I've heard they work just as well in the snow as the RS-A's (which is NOT very well)

Good luck,
Ryan
