I am really enjoying my '12 S ( my second mini ). My previous mini, an '08 had the sport suspension with 17" wheels and with the runflats was terrible for regular driving. I thoroughly agree with all the complaints regarding runflats. My current car has the standard suspension and 16" wheels and Conti all-season runflats. While the ride is much more bearable than my previous car with its runflats, when I wear these tires I am thinking of going to 205/50-16's, Koni FSD shocks, and a slightly stiffer rear swaybar. I don't track my car, but I enjoy going on club runs.
What do you guys think about this combo?

I forgot mention that my new tires will be non-runflats.

 

They all sound good to me. All are popular mods here. The 19 mm rear swaybar seems more popular for road driving than the 22 mm.
