Can any JCW owner please recommend and/or make comments on tyres for this car and road noise, etc ?
Many thanks. Mike

I have the first of the above and they have terrific grip and handling compared to the terrible Continental runflats it came on. They are quieter too and the side walls are not made of wood.

Depends if you are after ultra grip and performance and your budget, but I heartily recommend the MPSS. I have the MPS4 on my other car and they are very good too - not sure if the latter two are available in Mini sizes but easy to check - the MPSS definitely are.

Have run Hankook ventus v12 and very happy, would have again.

Yes, got these as well. Good for the money, although not claiming they are as good as MPS4 (had those on other cars but can't directly compare on the Mini).
