Girlfriend has a 2007 Cooper S convertible, with run flats which she wants to change. Whole car is standard, with low 27k miles, and her pride and joy. Wheels are 'horse shoes' style, best way I can describe them ;-)

Anyway - what tyres are best for her ??

She uses can mostly on A road, town usage, although we live in semi-rural environment....and she likes to drive fast....

Thanks in advance

No problem jumping in. I haven't actually driven the Mini, but as a passenger, you feel the skipping and jumping around as the tyres cross white lines, awful honestly. She loves the car, but tyres seem an issue. I was thinking of ditching runflats, just going for normal good quality tyres.

Nope, all the same, and look good quality, but as very low mileage car, so I suspect they are a few years old. Will get them changed, prmised her now !
