205/40/18 Cinturato tires no longer available for JCW 509 Cup Spoke wheels?
 

I ran into an issue today and figure I can hopefully find someone that has had the same issue. On our 18 F56 Cooper S 2DHT we have been running the 16" with all season tires for the winter and the 18" JCW Cup spoke (picture attached)

Today when going to switch from the winter to summer wheels I found that two had bubbles on them. I need to get it inspected, so would need to replace these tires. When I called around today it appears they are no longer available in that size.

For anyone running the 509 cup spoke JCW wheels - what size / tires are you running?

215/40-18 would be an acceptable alternate size

That's what I thought. I was able to find a friend in the local club that had 2 of these available with almost full tread so I got them, but it looks like I'll plan on getting 4 215/40/18s for next fall when I swap back to the winter wheels.

Thanks!

205/40 18 alternatives
 

Hey, I'm looking to get out of the runlets. This is my wife's car and I'd like to getting her the Michelin all seasons. I can't find them in a 205/40 18 size. I've ready 215/40 18 can work. Does it have any impact on speedometer?

Any other alternatives?

We have alzor wheels in the wider size now. Cup spoke design. 18 x 7.5" So a little wider for those wider tires options. As 205 size is not common and mostly a MINI size for tire manufactures, we just had goodyear stop by at ECS. Most of the engineers for the big tire companies are in our backyard.

They also have a Matte Black finish that looks great.
