Is this tire suitable for my 03 MCS

One of my rear tires needs to be replaced. I have an 03 MCS with the 17 inch wheels.

Would this tire be alright?

Yes good tire.
But I would stick to the same kind of tire you have on other 3 wheels. It would really bother me knowing one of my tires is a ever so slightly different diameter, width and tread pattern, but most of all a differing brand. Bit of a MINI induced Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in me. It would be like sending your kid to school with a Nike on one foot and a Van's on the other
Again, MINI Induced OCD

Yes, replace all four or replace like for like - no in between.....

Are you running run-flats or regular tires?

Nope not run flats. This place in PA always carries discountinued tires, although they sell on eBay Falken ZE-512s in 205/45-17 for $75 bucks.
