Ah! I had Neova AD08's for my last set and I should have gotten them again, much better tires than my current ExtremeContact POS.

We go for Dis and Dat, Molly (my '08 Justa') and SMAUG (Husband's Kia Soul Shadow Dragon SE#3)!!
It is amazing how a simple change like a set of Wheels can change the look of a MINI and take it from getile to Grrrrrrrrr!!
