(Sorry. 2012 Justa Cooper - damn you autocorrect.)

That's what a salesperson told me this weekend. I knew the base 15"s were non-runflat, but have never heard of non-runflat 16's.

In order to get non-run flats you need to buy the 15s.

Red Mini, hope you're doing ok down there with the tornado that passed though. I was told that non-RFTs only come on the 15's, which is why I got the 15's.

For 2012 you can now specify runflat tires (code 258) or non-flat tires for 16" wheels on the MINI Cooper.

The mini config tool doesn't allow this. This is what we used at the dealer to configure the car I ordered

What? I haven't even seen this at the dealer level. I order the cars for mine but admit I haven't paid attention. Will look into this...

Thanks. Ok. A coworker's boyfriend's grandparents lost their home, but that's as close as it got to me. Another storm coming through tonight and everyone's looking for weather radios.

All S models get RFTs because they don't have a spare. A Justa does have a spare and thus it is equipped without RFTs.

Glad to hear you're ok. Hope the coworker's BF's grandparents get up on their feet soon.
