well i think this should go into the markpet place, but i was wondering how much the 16' stock with runflats were for the r56 go for.

 

Go to the TireRack site for the best price? Then ask your dealer what he charges? Be prepared for a shock plus few tire shops stock any runflats? When I got a flat on a road trip down 101 the shop had to fly one in to San Francisco.

 

AROUND 275 A TIRE

 

Here are the results of a MINI2 forum query asking which tires came on their R56s:

http://www.mini2.com/forum/poll.php?...ts&pollid=2687

If you look the 2 most commonly installed tires for 16" wheels in Tirerack, the Goodyears are $201 and the Dunlops are $235.

 

check the "for sale" forums on here. you can often find them for dirt cheap when people upgrade.

 

The 16" Continentals (all season) are $108 each at tire rack.

 

haha i was thinking about selling my stock runflats for some better rims (well sell + save a little ) to get either bbs's with all season or somethign like that :d

 

The two online tire places I have dealt with are:
Tire Rack - www.tirerack.com
Discount Tire Direct - www.discounttiredirect.com

Both have great prices. Also, in sixteen inch sizes, MINIs use the 195-55-16 tire, but a 205-50-16 fits too and is what I installed on my old MINI. There are more choices for high performance tires in the 205 size. Lastly, NTB (National Tire and Battery) will match Tire Rack prices plus installation. I got Yokohama AVS ES100 tires for the old MINI for about $90/tire, installed.
