Hello! I recently purchased my first 2007 mini cooper and am so glad someone suggested this site to me since I have never owned a mini and was previously driving a jeep commander. I am not sure how this site works and if someone could give me some pointers that would be great! Also, I need new tires and was wondering the best place/ price for winter tires.
Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community. In Columbus if you go to Discount Tire and tell them you are in "The MINI Club" you get a discount. We have no club in Columbus tho. We do however gather on the 3rd Saturday of the Month for Donuts and Tire Kicking at Tim Horton's in New Albany.
Welcome. Pics please!!!! We like pics. I ran Bridgestone Blizzaks on my '06 Cooper last winter in NW Ohio, and they were awesome. I bought a spare set of rims, and just need to swap over, instead of continually taking tyres off the same rims. I always like to buy local (Best One tyre 2 miles across town). That way, if you have any problems it is an easy fix
Welcome to M/A Like Nathan said Discount Tire is the place to go for tires here in town.
