My 06 MCS was originally equipped with the R98's and Rock Flats. I took the rock flats up to around 25K miles. I'm sure I could've got another 5K out of them, but the ride was always harsh.

So I swapped them out the Eagle GS-D3's. Loved those tires. But when it came around to replacing them, couldn't find 'em. So I decided to sell the R98's and get something a little lighter.

I wanted to stick with a 17". They just look awesome on a MINI. So I narrowed it down to the Konig Foil.

Advance the time line by 15 months, and I've been riding on the Foil's and Conti Extreme Contacts since. Both have been a nice combo/ride.

Currently have 15K on the Conti's, and expect at least another 15K plus. No noise from these tires on the highway. Riding strong.
