Hey everyone, I think I've narrowed down my next tire choice to the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S+. My MINI is on 16s so I'm wondering what size to go with for those? Stock is 195/55, currently running 205/50 summer tires and the Mich are only available in 205/55 and 225/50. Not sure if both of these sizes are too big and I should be looking at a different tire to stay with the 205/50 if thats a better size for my car. Thanks for your help everyone.

 

205/55/16 should fit no problem. What I run (Yoko and Conti).

As far as what is the better size, that is going to depend on what your goals are.

 

205/55 Michelin man's here with no issues what so ever........ Other than less stops at the petrol station due to 3mpg gain on the Green X tires.......

See my sig.....

 

Well then I guess thats what I'll go with, thanks for all your help

They fit just fine, and give a nice ride. I can probably lower it 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch for a real good look.

 

That looks good, hope they fit on my lowered MINI, guess we'll find out in a few weeks.

 

Mine stick out about 1cm more than they would on OEM 16" rims. Doesn't sound like much, but it makes a difference. If you're not lowered too aggressively, I don't think you'll have a rubbing issue.

 

Hey,
I wanna put these on my lowered mini.
Did you fund out if they fit ok ?
