    Sitting in Discount Tire right now, Red Devil will be wearing Drag dr23's 7x17, and Nitto Motiva 215 45 17. I am pretty darn excited right now, no more RFT for me.

    You'll be amazed how much more your MINI feels like a MINI without run flats!

    :cornut: You'll also be dumping a little unsprung weight which always helps the suspension. When I did this, I started carrying a REAL spare tire/wheel in the boot. Others carry a doughnut or a compressor and plugs or 'Green Slime'. Some carry nothing at all. I'm just curious, what will you carry?:Thumbsup:

    In town: Tire plug kit, 12v compressor, can of fix-a-flat, and a cell phone to call AAA it it is really bad.
    On the road: All of the above and add a doughnut spare.

    I am in the "I carry nothing" club. I watch where I drive and check tires and pressures almost weekly. OCD? Yup :lol::lol::lol:
