Delivered Tires

What make/model tires are showing up on your cars from the factory? I ordered the 17" performance (non run-flats) and am curious as to what that gets me. The folks at 1-866-MINI couldn't really tell me.

Cheers!

Last set of previous model lasted over 40,000miles and were at 20% tred when I swapped...wet traction is unreal.

I think you may want to double-check that. I think what that gets you is 17" run-flats. My research showed that the only non-runflat tire is the standard 15" on (justa) Cooper Clubman models.

edit - noticed this is for your 09 JCW. No clue on that.

Good luck,
Will
