Well I haven't been on here in a year or so. February of 13 I switched from 15 to 16 inch wheels. Installed Bridgestone Potenza G019' and they worked well for about 5,000 miles. After that they got loud. Real loud! And continued to get louder.
2008 Hatch non turbo/ love this car/ traveled all over the U.S. In it.
I put 35,000 on these tires and rotated between 3-5,000 at oil changes.
After a good bit of research I decided on Pirelli Cinturato P7 all season plus. I run 195 55 R16's.
I called the top tire stores in my area and they were all over 700 out the door. On a lark I called my closest Walmart and they ordered them for me from Florida and gave me the FedEx tracking numbers so I would know when they arrived. Ordered Wednesday and they got here today.
Very happy to hear my radio again and they seem to handle really nice. 126 apiece out the door. Not much of a Walmart fan but this was a ice surprise !

Well,

Those tires are fine for general street use-

I just switched to 16 Xlites from 15 spoolers. Picked up the 16s for $200. Just had Tires Plus install Falken Ziex 905 205/50s for $372 out the door. I picked up oem used tpms sensors off ebay for $32 and new 24mm valves for $24. They gladly installed the valves and sensors I provided. I am EXTREMELY happy now. Those Continental runflats were obnoxiously loud.

 

Can someone help, i need correct measurements for wheel fitment. Im looking at XXR 527's and i need the correct offset and width with the offset. Cant find anywhere to help me :(

 

Your question has nothing to do with this thread from long ago about tires.

Start a new thread with your question.
List your MINI model and year, suspension mods, etc.

 

i appreciate your help
