    When is a JCW not really a JCW? When MINI Marketing gets involved.

    One thing I don't understand, aside from the new MINI's being bigger, and the styling making them looker even bigger yet when comparing to 1st and 2nd gens of the BMW MINI's is why do they stick with run flats? My car transformed into a completely different animal when I switched to regular sport tires. How can you make a car that's known for it's handling and throw crappy slippery run flats on it?

    BMW considers it a safety issue. They believe too many people get hurt changing tires on the side of the road.
