Run Flat / Regular Tire Change Out

On an 07 MC with the standard rims, can you change the run-flats out to normal tires? Will they fit the rims OK?

That is what people are saying in the general wheel and tire section. You can go from runflat to normal tires with the factory wheels. What you can't do is put runflats on a wheel that is not designed for them.

Depends on whether you are getting the S or not. MINIUSA.com shows that the MC comes with standard tires and a spare. It is the MCS that doesn't have room for a spare, so it only comes with runflats.

You could ask your dealer. They may be willing to do some deal with swapping the runflats for something else.

15" wheels come with conventional tires and all larger sizes come with run flats.

15" wheels are not available on the MCS, but run flats apply to larger wheels on both models.
