Non Run Flats

I had 195/55 Goodyear run flats on 16" rims. They lasted well but were noisy and harsh. Changed them for Yokohama V102's - 205/50 x 16. These are exceptional in wet weather and with an extra 5 psi work well on track days. The only down side is when the temperature gets below 14 degrees C the car darts over small bumps at low speeds. This may be the compound or squeezing 205/50 tyres onto 6" rims. My next choice will probably be 195/55 Michelin Pilot Sports. If you do ditch the run flatsdon't forget to buy the MINI Mobility kit.
