When i ordered the mini, I selected the standard performance tires. 16"

If I'm in South Texas, should I stay with that or switch to the all season?

Thoughts....

Also, how many miles can I expect to get out of either set?

Thanks,

Johnny

 

My experience with run flats is that a set will last about 20,000 miles. Doesn't really matter if its with performance or allseasons.

 

Wow...that's not very good.

 

Not good at all, runflats go quick.

 

But remember that you don't have to run them flat. You can put air in them and them last longer...

 

I have the Dunlop Sport 01 ROF that came on the car and have just over 15,000 on them and they are at about half wear so i should get about 28K-30K out of a set.

Of course it also depends on your driving style. The harder you drive the car the lower the mileage you will get out of a set. BTW this goes for all tires regardless of type.

 

i bought my mini used with 29K on it, and the original run-flat tires are almost gone (probably about a 16th of an inch till the wear bars). i have 31k on it now. probably have to change them in a couple of months. for now, i don't drive the mini when it rains, just when it is sunny out

 

I went the other direction... I got rid of the runflats entirely at 2 months. I got lighter aftermarket rims, and BF Goodrich G-Force Sport tires. Have roughly 20K on them, no problems. On long trips, I carry a spare tire in back plus a small compressor and plug kit.

Runflats work for some, but for me, I was better once I got rid of them... just wanted to give a different perspective here : )
