Mini Tyres Test

Mini is part of the BMW group. The Germans purchased Mini to make an entry in the small car market and have never looked back due to the unrivalled success of the Mini. We have had a look at what tyres Mini give you, and have made some alternative suggestions on replacements (www.mini.com).

Black Circles stock complete ranges in Mini tyres to suit your vehicle and your driving style. Contact our customer services team for impartial advice on 0845 200 0022.

Mini One – Tyre Option, 175/65 15, Pirelli or Dunlop

Made by BMW, the Mini One preserves the spirit of the original Mini but with added practicality. Its handling is excellent and as such any tyres you put on this vehicle should provide levels of grip that the Mini can exploit for maximum driving pleasure. The alternatives for the Mini One are varied because it is not a runflat option. So you can look at the Dunlop Sport 01 as well as the Goodyear NCT5. These will provide good handling tyres that can also offer a comfortable drive when driving around town

Mini Cooper S – Tyre Option, 205/45 17, Pirelli Eufori@ (run flat tyre)

The BMW Mini Cooper S is one of the most enjoyable drives that can be purchased even in a more expensive car. The addition of the supercharger allied to the go-kart like handling makes even the most mundane drive a pleasure. The alternatives for the tyres are limited because this car uses the latest runflat technology which means a spare tyre is not carried. Dunlop do the SST (Self Supporting Tyre) which provides excellent levels of grip and handling and is perfectly suited to the Mini Cooper S. Other options include Goodyear and Bridgestone.
