I just put on rainsport 2 on mine though 17ins wheels and was £350. I'm delighted by the way the car's handling with them. These got very good reviews and they look good too.

I'm a fan of the Rainsports, unlike the Pradas they work in the wet

Tight big Git!

I was thinking of ditching run flats when tyre change comes for a little more comfort, very harsh ride.
Was just wondering if the non run flat would make that much ride difference?

I heard something a while back about not being able to fit non run flat onto Mini alloys......guess thats crap then?

Comfort is MUCH better on STD tyres. Feel Is also better. ;)

you can fit either types of tyres to mini wheels :thumbs up:

That's why I went for them. Most frequent adverse driving conditions we have is caused by rain. According to one review I looked at they also handle very well in dry conditions.

not the only tight git then - partly for comfort as well with me

think 18's are even worse than 17's. found 3 alloys on ebay with tyres for £100 each so might kill 2 birds with one stones and lose the 2 damaged alloys at same time

Uniroyal make the rainsports
