Clo, I am getting my Dunlops rotated hopefully this week. I have a little over 11K and they have already been rotated once. I want this set to last me to 30K-36K if all possible.

These tires rock. My only quibble with them, if you will, is the wet traction at times. But otherwise no other complaints here.

I dumped my runflats at about 20K because they were so noisy - I thought I had a bad wheel bearing, but the new tires sorted it!

The RFs when they wear down become very noisy.

The Cooper S, due to the center mounted exhaust and rear battery, does not come with a factory mounted spare.

Just to clarify.
Don't forget to check the spare
