MINI2 - MINI Forum - View Single Post - What make of tyres did you get with your 17” Wheels?

The reason I am asking is because in another thread we are discussing whether Run Flat tyres can in fact be repaired. One Mini2 member posted this link which states that it depends on the tyre manufacturer.

Apparently if your Run Flats are made by Firestone then regardless of the type of puncture, the tyre has to be replaced.

However, if you have Goodyears then there is a good chance they can be fixed.

So I am trying to get a picture of what make of tyres Mini are putting on the 17" Wheels.

Hopefully Goodyears all round.

Cheers.
