on my 08 MCS.

I really like the new look - the wheels look great, and the tires have a nice aggressive pattern.

The PZeros and the much lighter wheels vs. the OEM S-Lite's make a huge difference in how the car drives and handles. They resolved many bad habits the car seemed to have with the heavy 17's and less-so with the OEM 16's. Less tq steer. Less bump steer. Less sudden direction changes in mid corner. And improved performance off the line with less clutch action needed to get the car rolling.

So far I really like the tires, even though they are barely broken in. The ride is really smooth - there is tramlining on badly grooved pavement at freeway speeds, that is about the only negative thing so far. Noise is very low. The turn in is crisp and the grip is pretty impressive. Very nice tire - I wasn't sure about this tire because it was rated a bit lower than some others in it's class, but with the rebate TR was selling them for about half the original price point, so at those prices I was pretty sure it would be better than anything in the budget category. And so far I'm actually surprised at how well they do work on the Mini. Great tire for the Mini - IMHO.

I went with the OEM 205-45-17 size and the wheels are 17x7, also OEM sized.

Oh yea - some pics!

 

Look good!

 

Nice

 

thanks! So far after some time I am enjoying this set-up even more. the tires are just awesome on the Mini.
