I don't have any problems with it. One thing I don't like is the fact that you can't get to any 15" wheels on their search.

Try this. Go to Tirerack.com
Shop for Tires
Select MINI & 2003
What results do you get?

Try with any year--2003 to 2005 for Tires or Wheels, there will be no results. That sounds like a problem.

Well. It used to work.

As of this morning, I get this:



Sorry, either you've not selected both the make and year of your vehicle or the Tire Rack does not have any wheel or suspension products for the vehicle, and our database has no tire fitment info available for 2003 Mini models. If you'd like to search for tires, please use our size search feature.

Try MINI 2002 and it will work but only for the MCS. No MC option available.

Better send Alex@tirerack.com a message to check on why it isn't working even when using the upgrade garage menu.

This is a technical error and not anything to worry about.
Tirerack still luvs MINIs.

....has been working fine for me (and I'm on there at least once a day ). If you want to look for 15" wheels for an MCS, you have to select the MC option.

It must be my call to Alex on Friday asking for discount that annoyed them. They must decide Mini business is more trouble than it's worth.

Zociac,

Sorry you don't get full credit for this one. I tried many different makes of cars and all get the big error message so something is messed up at tirerack's site in general and has "Nothing" to do with MINIs.

I did send alex an email.

Give them a call and talk to a sales person if needed.

Hi Guys

I am in the office today.

There was a data migration that occurred last night, that appears to have caused these complications.

Its not only Mini's as Minihune pointed out.

I really appologize for any inconvieneces this may cause.

I regret to inform you its not in the slightest personal, nor can it be corrected until monday morning.

The 02 Cooper S is still fuctioning correctly for wheel searches. I know this prevents seeking 15 inch wheels, and I appologize. This post is allways available for your wheel seaching pleasure.

Alex

Yeah, not browser-dependent. Something seems to be messed up in their database. I know it worked a couple of days ago because I used it again in my endless quest to decide which wheels to get.
