Hi all, new to this part of the forum as recently picked up a very nice F56 Cooper for my wife in moonwalk grey with Chili, Pepper and Media packs - loving it so far!

Question is - it has black "Victory" alloys, which I believe come with run-flats, can standard 16" tyres be fitted, come change out time?

Thanks in advance smile

If they are 16" wheels yes.

Is that yes, non-run-flats can be fitted?

What other question would I be answering?

You only asked that one as far as I can see.

Strange response!

What part of yes don't you understand?

Just to clarify my response further if it is required.

You stated your car didn't drive well on run flats (you didn't specify the wheel size) and asked if you can fit 16" standard tyres.

Rather than assume you know the size (which, as I know no better you could have assumed incorrect rather than actually checked) I answered in such a manner as to tell you the full and complete answer to the half question you answered.

The full answer is if you currently have 16" runflats fitted you can change to non runflats & will notice a difference.

Simples!

I didn't say anything about the car not driving well, and I *did* specify the wheel size.

Thank you for the clarity and peace out wink

Actually you didn't specify the wheel size, read your post, you only specified the size of tyre you were asking would fit.

The answer is still "yes if they are 16" wheels" as you didn't specify the size of wheel.
