Yokohama
ADVAN Sport A/S
215 /45 R17 87W SL BSW

I have had Yoko's before and found them decent (on a Honda and also a Countryman). So I went with them for the mini. Plus, they are a heck of a lot cheaper than Michelins and Contis, etc.

Anyone already using these on their mini? Have you found them to be solid?
How about road noise and comfort?

Tirerack test result-

An OK tire for the class, better in dry than wet. Good value for what it offers.

Tire owner ratings are good-

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 still sets the standard and doesn't compromise much for ride comfort or grip/handling in dry or wet.

Yeah pulled the trigger today. Very different feeling from the Bridgestone "run flats".
