Mini to move away from runflats in UK
It's worth mentioning in this forum that apparently Mini will no longer install runflat tires in the UK...starting in 2010. If I'm reading the article correctly non-runflats will be available only as an option (17" & 18"). Interesting indeed. http://www.motoringfile.com/

actually, not "non-runflats" but runflats will be available as a 16-17 option for an extra charge, and 18s were undecided.
