New JCW owner from Alberta Canada

I have been sneeking around here for the last 4 months or so. Really appreciate the info on here. I purchased a 2010 Clubman JCW sight unseen this winter. It was really hard to find a used one. At the time there were only three JCW's on the market in Canada. I bought one out of Montreal Quebec. The unit is in great shape and came loaded minus nav and garage door opener. The car also had low km (40 000). Really enjoying it but now it's time to put new rubber on. Here is my dilemma . I have p zero 205 40 R18's run flats on it. I have been looking to get some Michelin Pilot Super Sports for it but.... None in Canada or the US for the next 6 to 8 weeks??? Would 215 40 R18's work as they are readily available. Has anyone tried this? Input is very welcome. I have tried to research it on here but have come up empty.

Welcome to the MINI club. Looks like a Banff picture. I took Sheldon for a run down the 1A to Lake Louie and had a great time. Make sure you join the local clubs for a good drive

Thanks and yep the pic was taken on the corner of Elk st and Banff ave. These cars are awesome. Just the right blend of quirky, cool, quality and quick . I'm hoping to maybe do a bit of auto x. I haven't owned a car since 1990. All Chevy trucks with lifts and big tires. Again this car makes me smile.
