Good morning

My wife has 09 plate cooper S

Currently 2 run flats on the front normal tyres on the back
Needs a couple of tyres and the other two getting ready so going to replace all 4

Run flats or non run flats? Any suggestions, issues going either way.

We have other cars so it’s only normally used locally, so happy to have a spare wheel in the garage for emergencies……… and a can of what ever in the boot.

Thanks

Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2s all round here, having ditched the awful previous runflats.

The problem with minis is there is actually not very much suspension travel, so run-flats just feel/grip poorly.

Go for the best tyre you can in non-RFT.

Typically Conti S/C or P/C 5 or 6, Goodyear F1 Assy 3, Michelin PS4 are all excellent choices.

Do a bit of research on tyrereviews.com & find good ones in your size & you won't regret it.
