If you want near race tire grip then the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec is the ticket, but they will wear faster too.

Running 225/45-17 here...
with Michelin PS2's--the "Porsche" variant if you look on TireRack. If you look carefully, that Porsche one is the lightest of the three (!) PS2 choices in 225's, and priced mid-pack. 225's fit fine on my 2010 MCS. If you are pre-2007 be careful though--from reading many posts on here, some say 225's have fitment issues. Since I don't and many don't bother to post the year of their MINI, I suspect its more a Gen 1 issue. The 225's cleaned up a lot of the speedo error issue and fill the wheel wells nicely too.
I live on the Peninsula (Bay Area) BTW so know a summer tire like the Michelin works here all year round. PS2's are a HUGE upgrade over the Dunlop runflat summers the car came with (and which outrageously cost twice as much!)--quieter, way smoother, stick like glue... Have them on my (450HP) Audi too.

Rotated 3x times and have mods, but don't burnout or track the car.
