    Looking at buying semi slicks for the mini as I’m doing a few track days. What would everyone recommend? Plus my tyres the now are 205/45/17, would I be able to put 215s on or will they be to big? Totally rubbish at these sort of things

    Take a look at Craig's for sale thread....


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Yeah....Craigs got a set of Federal 595RSR's (215/45 X 17) for sale......

    These are the same as what I have on ours.....damn fine tyre in the dry and not too scary in the wet either

    Ours runs Eibach springs and I do get the smallest hint of rubbing at the rear running the 215's if the road is really bumpy
