JCW Alloy owners, how are your tires?
I was just wondering about the Dunlop runflats that come standard with your wheels? They take a real beating by the 5 series owners in the Tire Rack owners reviews but I was just wondering if this was more car/owner related or if the MINI owners were experiencing the same problems; noise, unusual wear patterns, and low mile wear problems. Thanks

For those MINIs with JCW 18" wheels and runflats in my area they are no worse or better than standard 17" runflats.
If you drive aggressively and don't rotate tires you will wear the fronts out quite a bit faster.
If you drive reasonably the JCW wheels do fine. Be sure to miss all big potholes
You've got 18" wheels!
The BMW 5 series is quite a bit heavier and more powerful than your average MINI.
