Small Report after changing tires on my GP

Remamber we were meant to be getting a carbon fibre bonnet too?

Yeah but I'm not talking solely about the GP. I'm talking about the Mini from day one with runflats. They are hardly likely to have not bothered about how it handles and brakes with runflats fitted. Regardless of whether it was a last minute decision to fit them.

Truth is, I don't know as yet. Got the tires, had them mounted, ran into a slight problem with the wheel weights, and haven't driven the car since. Maybe this coming weekend :-)

Has anyone figured out what size winter tyre/steely duo will work with the GP? I have a set of Blizzak WS50's on 16" steelies that I bought last year fromTirerack and I need to know if they're going to still fit on the new motor.
