175/65R15 under tyred?

[cirian75]

Looking at F56 Mini coopers

See many are running 175/65R15

Seems to be a little under tyred and runs quite high PSI, 38 in the fronts, wow!

Anyone think the same?

I can only comment as an R50 owner, using 15"s as standard. I've tried mine on the 17"s and 16"s and it's quite harsh. I would say the 175/65/R15s do limit the grip a bit though. So it's a ride comfort v's ultimate grip level choice.

We are currently running 15" steel wheels with 175/65 winter tyres.

No issues with grip limitations even in slightly higher temperatures where the full winter tyre can go a bit 'soft'.

Compared with the 17" alloys with 205/45 we use in the summer, the ride comfort is greatly improved with the 15" wheels/tyres.
