How many wheels and tires can you fit in a MINI? (atleast 8, apparently)

So with the winter coming... (or is it already here in Calgary? Picture taken Sep 15, 06)


I've decided to get some new tires!


Loaded the MINI up with 8 wheels and tires (silver holies with racing slicks (4), swapping winter tires (4) onto those rims)


Yep all 8 fit inside a MINI, the hatch shuts too!


While at the tire shop they have a special discount for end of the season summer tires, yum.


With my stock all season tires looking like this at 21000km, I decided to get the summer tires too.


Cory at Mytires.ca was superb, everything went smoothly, thanks Cory!


And finally home in one piece, after I had some tail out fun (you read that right) at an on ramp 5km into getting the brand new summer tires, they are slippery when new!


And that's the end of my little story for tonight

sounds kool, but isnt a bit of a hassle to always go back to get the tires mounted?
