TireRack testing results here: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...y.jsp?ttid=138

Bridgestone Turanza Serenity came in dead last of the four contestants - I would take that as a hint to keep looking.

I would not install any of these tires on my Mini even if they were given to me for free.

YMMV
