Anyone have a pics of this profile tyre on their Mini? I cannot decide to go to 205/50/16 or 205/55/16's from my
195/55/16 run-flats. Leaning towards the 205/50/16's seeing as they seem to be the most popular, however, I am affraid the smaller sidewall will make the wheel look small and wierd, seeing as the wheel well gap will be bigger. Or is the differance so small that you don't notice it? Anyone got pics?

These are 205/50/16's at factory ride height. They look very good.
I chose a tire with round sidewalls at the time because the car was not
lowered. Pirelli P4 Fourseasons. Dry grip is about as good as ES100's
and Spec2's. The initial turn-in is soft though. Wet grip is pretty good
too, probably better than the ES100's and Spec2's as these are M+S
tires. :smile:
