G-force are very noisy. I've been through a few sets of the nexen n5000 tires. They last longer than ony other tire I've run, and only seem to get noisy at the end of their life. Can't beat them for the price.

Thanks my tire guy said Nexen n5000 is being phased out but the have a n5000x (or something like that) and these arent directional so they can be rotated.

When I search for Nexen n5000 I don't get much.

Did you buy tires yet?

What size wheels do you have?

What is your budget?

Do you have cold weather or snow and what do you drive in the winter?

read the owner reviews-

and quite a price reduction for clearance-

Nexen is a Korean company formerly known as Woosung Tire (name changed in 2000).

Hopefully the N5000 plus is an improvement, just looking at it, it looks OK.

For comparison purposes you can look at it like a High Performance All Season tire and it does come in sizes that fit the MINI:
195/60-15
205/55-16
205/45-17
