Reason why I want to see what's up with this is because I would like to have the car come with all seasons instead of the "high performance summer" tires....considering I live in NYC.
well it looks like from a few posts that you can get anyone of the OEM brands when your vehicle gets built. hmmmmm......too bad you can't choose them like all the other options .....
I got the Goodyear Excellence RunOnFlat. I made the mistake of getting the all seasons on Quentin, they were horribly slidy. Luckily here we don't really get winter, so summer tires are not a problem.
If you want the car with all seasons than order it that way.
The default tire with the sport package is a 17 inch summer run flat however a 17 inch all season run flat is a no cost configurable option.
I got the web spoke wheels option and the all season tires were not allowed with that option.
No sport package here- mine came with the 16" Continentals. (all season) I like them so far- ask me again after I experience the next Chicago winter in them.....
Don't have my car yet but I should within the week, anyhow I thought about getting all seasons instead of run flans and my MA told me that the all seasons were also run flats. Didn't sound right to me but he is from England and is on his fifth Mini so you would think he knows his stuff. Any truth to his story?
