I just got my MCS last week and planning to get snow tires (now I am using the 17" performance run-flat tires). But I have a question, as I use another set of wheels for winter, does it matter if I just put 16" steel wheels and winter tires on my Mini? or do I have to put run-flat winter tires for the winter too?

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you

Shouldn't matter, just make sure the overall diameter is the same so your speedometer doesn't go off, and carry some fix-a-flat just in case, since you don't have a spare.
