if your wheels are fine and only need tires, there are many different tires out there.
each are like a untensile you eat with, some are meant for things, while others are meant for other. allseasons are like the sporkife (spoon, fork, knife) can do everything, but nothing super well like the dedicated counter parts. if you only have 1 set of wheels, and 1 set of tires, this is fine

What size rims you running?
The gen1 car was 16 stock, with 17 an option....18 was even added later...
You will find the stock mini widths are kinda rare, and $$...but going to an alternate size with only a 1-2% change in diameter can result in some real $$ savings and more tire choices, and folks usually get a slightly wider tire....

I have 17" 8 spokes (stock mini) with Continental Extreme contacts, they are nice freaking grippy knowing I hydro planed on a banked curve going about 75mph and didn't die (205/45/17) Summer tyres I plan to get pilot super sports 215/45/17 still very undecided about rims.

Light rims make a HUGE difference In how the car feels....giving the steering a more playful, lighter feel, and making the car less truck like (once you switch you will understand). Big heavy rims act kinda like gyroscopes, and while giving the car straight line stability, makes the turns ponderous.....and heavy s-lites, aka boat anchors, or s-heavies, are the WORST offenders...but the look is popular and they are strong...
