thats im going with non runflats. i just want to know some opionions on what tires to buy.

 

Check out the Toyo Proxes 4. Don't know that it's the best, but it's hella good.

 

Assuming you have stock 17" wheels.

If you look for 205/45-17 tires All season then:

Ultra High Performance All Season-
Avon Tech M550 A/S $105 each 360 tread wear AA traction

In the same category and highly rated but in slightly larger than stock
215/45-17 are
Bridgestone Potenza RE-960AS Pole Position for $140 each
400 treadwear AA traction excellent in dry AND wet.
Or
Continental ContiExtreme Contact for $86 each
400 treadwear AA traction
See tests Continental vs Bridgestone RE960

For MINI with stock suspension the 215/45-17 are fine. A bit wider and heavier than stock. The RE-960 is a great street tire for all seasons (up to light snow). Overall a solid choice.

Did you have a budget?

 

I am VERY happy with the ContiExtreme Contacts. Wet weather has been great and dry traction is very very good. Some day I guess I will have to try super sticky summer tires because so far these hold the road very nicely. I guess I am just not pushing hard enough .

The reason I chose these is because they are supposedly better in snow than other all seasons... It has not snowed yet since I have bought them though.

 

Love the Toyo Proxes 4. Not too expensive, relatively quiet, and seem to wear well.

 

Pirelli PZero Nero M+S all season tyres are great! I have a set with 12k+ miles. Ran on snow, ice, wet, dry, whatever, they do great. I really like how quiet they are, and also the nice ride you get with them. I went with 215 45 R17.

 

i just want the best tires i can get i was thinking perreli p zero.
any other high ed tires to consider?

 

Ditto. I have had the Proxes 4 on three cars now...MINI, BMW and Audi S4.

 

Falken Ziex ZE 512 excellent tires at a great price
