I have a MCS with the 17" erfori@ tires. I haven't found any glaring problems with this tire but this is my first performance car. The traction in rain and snow here in St. louis is fine but I don't drive the Cooper much if the weather is nasty. Also the tires seem a little noisy to me.

The Eufori@ seems a little pricey at $160+ out in the world. Can I find a tire that's got all the wet & dry performance, is quieter, and costs less money? Not asking for much I know...

Also, can I get by without run-flat tires?

Thanks,

Steve

 

Yokohama AVS ES-100's 215/45/17
non-runflats (a can of fix-a-flat in the trunk)

I've seen quite a few preferences for the 17's...and not to hi-jack the 17" thread...but..what about the 16" r-84/y spoke wheel? non-runflat please

 

i have a quick question. Has anyone tried to use 225/45/17 specificly the falken azenis on the mini? i want get them but am unshure if the will fit? will i need spacers to make them fit? this is on the stock rim by the way

 

I switched to non run-flats that Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3. They ride better, look better, are cheaper, last longer and are a bit wider in size 215/45/17. Tirerack has them. I also understand the AVS is a good tire for even less money,

 

Minimo, you'll be happy with the Yokohama AVS. It's a great tire.

Koolmini, any reason you chose the 215/45/17 instead of the OEM-sized 205/45/17? No issues?
