    Welcome to M/A!

    Sounds like a nice MINI. You don't need to put those awful runflats on your car. Many more choices of regular tires & a lot cheaper too.

    Yes, don't worry abut run-flat prices... don't buy them! Just get a set of regular tires.

    Not sure what to say about the radio. I found my '09 radio lacked a little as well. Maybe a sub in the boot would help?

    Oh, and congrats and welcome :Thumbsup:

    Thank you everyone for the feedback. I did find run 17 inch run flat tires by Bridgestone..all weather and the cost was not that bad. I would have liked to get regular tires but no place to put a spare tire.

    I don't have a spare... I keep a fix a flat kit in the car. Cheaper and takes up less space :Thumbsup:

    Fix a flat!! I will keep that in mind for the next time! Too bad I didn't join earlier before I ordered the tires.... Maybe I can cancel order, didn't pay yet.

    You can fit a VW 4-lug spare under the bootlid if you're clever... but runflats are not so bad anymore and are a good daily-driver alternative...

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. I'm still trying to figure out how to post a photo of my mini.

    You are right about the RF tires, Dixon. I bought bridgestone RFall weather tires and my local firestone place put them on. The car rides so much better! warranty 40k miles. I was told by the guy that mini tires wear faster because of the roads around here..they tend to bounce because of suspension. He said to put sandbag in trunk and tires will wear better. I wonder if all that is true?
