Ok, my first post for years so may as well make it a bizarre one! Question about wheels/tyres, I am on my fourth mini and this is the first one for years which does not have low profile run flat tyres. I have an 07 Cooper Diesel with the bog standard nothing fancy 15" wheels.

Thing is, the front tyres always look a bit flat (or there is a bit of a bulge). I have checked the pressure several times and each time it is ok. I got a puncture about a month ago and after the new tyre was fitted it also looked a bit flat. As I said I never noticed this before when I had 17" wheels with run flats (on my cooper s). Am i worrying unnecessarily?

No need to worry Boab if you have checked the pressures.

remember the side wall of the 15s is much softer than the 17s.

What about getting a set of 17s again?

Also when you going to put up pics of your Dooper?

I will wait until you find me a cheap set.
