After the attempted, and I say this because it was a poor attempt, at a group buy of some e46 style wheels, failed miserably, I had a "dream" of what my perfect mini would look like, the good and bad part is that it had R90s on it. Hmmm.... I weighed the pros and cons. The wheel warranty I have through D&R would cover them because they are stock. Pro. They cost $1670. CON.
Okay I can fork out the cash for them. but wait, the stock tires look like 205/95/17, okay well more like 205/55/17, I'm refering to the wall thickness. The tires on MINIUSA's Configurator look bigger than the ones on my dad's suv. Not good. Does anyone have advise on a good performance tire that measures 205/45/17, but looks really low profile? The good is that D&R just might give me a price break on them and, this is the best part: ssshhh I have an in with Tire Rack, okay my friend works there so he gets an employee discount. Anyway I have bitten the bullet and gone for the best wheel, now I JUST NEED A TIRE!
Here's sorta what I want it to look like:

O NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I've become a RICER!!!
I did see some pirelli PZERO Rosso @ a saleen dealer in SC that looked tight.

Anyone?

 

I like the Nitto Neo-gens, I have turned a few of my local motorers on to them and they have all been very happy....Nitto makes plenty of different tires to fit you needs and are priced fair...they last a good amount of time and are quite sticky too...
