R53 OEM tire service description (e.g. 84W)
I'm entering my 2005 R53 into an event where the tires have to meet or exceed the OEM tire service description (load and speed rating). Does anyone have this info for the R53 and, if so, a link to a source so I can document it?
Thanks,
Deven

Depends what size your Mini came with, I know that the oem tires for my 2005 in 195/55/16 were Dunlop rated 87H SL Run Flat, which translate to a load of 1201lbs and speed rating of 130 mph.

Anything H or V with a similar or better load limit should do.

Most tire places will not sell you a tire for a specific model/make that does not meet or exceed the OEM tire specs.....
If you DIY' it and order them online...it is a buyer beware case.
If I recall, my r53 had V rated all-seasons...and r50's use H.
