Hi Everyone
After wanting a Mini for about fifty years I finally picked up my John Cooper Works 2009 hatchback. Awesome car. I already have a lot of questions. It came with a small fortune of tires and wheels. 17 " spoke mags and 18" black spokes with perilies. Im in the midwest Il, with snow and ice. It came with the 18"low profile mounted. I woul assume you would not want to run these in the winter. I intend to put on the 17" wheels and tires. Is there a place to saftly use a hydraulic jack on the car. Can you put it on the jack points they recomend for use with the factory jack?
Thank You
Jerry

Congratulations

I use the emergency jack for that; the hydraulic on the same jack points should be okay if it fits correctly.

Yeah throw some snow tires on the 17" wheels and should be ready for winter weather. Glad to hear your 50 year wait ended happily.
