Question about when I ordered my MINI

When i ordered my MCS i opted for all season tires, are these runflats as well. I am curious because i purchased the tire service from my dealer.

on the 17" wheels the only all season factory tire are the 205/45/17 Goodyear RSA runflats

If they are dunlops or pirellis they are seasonal performance (summer) tires

15" rims have non runflats. ALL 16" rims come with runflats.

In the US they come with tire kits

Actually all coopers in the US come with tool boxes that have jack, various wrenches, plastic bag, screwdriver, wheel chock, and other small bits wether they have 15" or 16" rims.

Yeah, we get the "tool kit" (pics in my gallery) but my MCS has no spare, not re-inflation kit, nothing in fact.

If the tyre (tire) goes it's runflats or nothing, If the sidewall gets ripped out, you're screwed.
