I recently ordered my MCSC with the bullet rims and was told that all S models have run flat tires. However I can't seem to find whether or not the bullet rims have the run flats. The other two wheels in the sport package say run flat tires but for some reason the bullet does not. Thanks for your help.

 

I'm an idiot...

 

thanks! I knew there was something wrong with what he was telling me. No where on the miniusa site does it say run flats with that wheel. I think he was assuming since there was no spare tire, the mcsc had to include run flats.

Not to cause an argument (or confusion), but I'd be surprised if the bullets didn't come with runflats. As your MA said, all S' are equipped standard with runflats - I don't think MINI would sell you a car w/o a spare and w/o runflats.

My 05 MCSC came w/ runflats on the bullet rims. I did promptly remove them and replaced with Toyo Proxies 4.

 

Still an idiot...

 

S is not available from the factory with non-runflats. Could your dealer have delivered them with aftermarket non-runflats because you requested non-runflats? What is the model number of your tires?

 

Sooo...... while I'm an idiot, at least I'm man enough to ADMIT I'm an idiot....

My MA told me "no runflats on bullets" - the MINI literature said that the other wheels DID include runflats, but just said "performance tires" for the Bullets. I took these two pieces of evidence to suggest "no runflats". I had honestly never really looked too closely at my tires in the 6 weeks I've had the car... And I thought the ride was pretty darn comfortable so far, so I couldn't possibly have runflats...

Alas, I have Dunlop DSST's.... Idiot.

This is karma - I was just lecturing folks on another thread today about poor logic skills and asserting "facts" that weren't... sorry.
