Snow tires would be a problem. I will probably drop the extra bucks and get chains for my snows, and I imagine they would work as well on all weather tires.

However, I wouldn't chance the run flats up that a way because if they DO blow, MINI road service is days away

I can lend you an overcoat...

Yeah I am thinking of replacing my Dunlop M3 Winter Sports with M2 Winter Sports (non-runflat version) on my 16" rims. I am also thinking of getting another rim as well with a spare tire just in case. I would recommend as well as good winter outfit. http://www.llbean.com will give you a good start on your winter wear. Super Quality and very good warrenty on their goods.

I wouldn't worry too much about the cold, after this past winter of subzero days here in the northeast, my car started with no issues. I would however make sure you running the latest firmware for your car (currently 38.x) as it fixes the cold start stumble and stalling.
