I know a few people running these on their volkswagens and they like them. I was going to look into getting a set when I put tires on my new Konigs

I have no experience with them, but have read some good reports on them. You can also run a 205-50-16 on a MINI with no issues. It opens you up to a lot more tire choices. 195-55-16 is a bit limited in what is available.

The Mitsubishi Ralliart I just purchased has brand new ones installed. I cannot speak to their high performance handling yet, but I can say they are a very quite/nice ride road tire, and excellent in the rain.

Kumhos are known for having great grip and horrible response. The set of AST's I had back in the day had the floppiest sidewalls ever. A friend had the XS on his 911 when he bought it, but they developed bad flat spots each day from sitting in the shaded parking deck. For a low price, you get good stick and crappy noise, response, and feel.
I'm not saying don't buy them, just be aware of why they're so inexpensive. -
Just got back from having them installed. Drove alot quieter and smoother. Im happy so far. Bought them from tirebuyer.com. Delivered in 5 days incl. weekend. I bought the 205 50 16. was torn between going to 17s or staying with 16s.Wanted rota rb in hyper black. After I ordered the tires I went to order wheels and find out both companys are out of stock. I got a call from work to travel 500 miles Thursday so I had them mounted on my factory wheels. Thats how they will stay.lol!

Thanks for the insight. I have the size on my Volkswagen and was going to run them on my mini for a couple weeks
