X-Lite Style 84 16"
all season run-flat tires
or
S-Spoke Style 35 17"
performance run flat tires
winter use only

which one should i get for my cooper s?

If you opt. for the 17" you will definitely need to have summer and winter tires. The added width of the 17" tire will have you floating up on top of the slush and snow, even with all weather tires.

I plan to get the factory 16" Xlite wheels and find some winter tires for them. Then I will look for the lightest 17" wheels in the aftermarket and mount high performance tires for the other three seasons.

Motor on, Dude!

I WOULD DEFINATELY GO FOR THE 17"S AND GET ANOTHER SET OF RIMS AND TIRES FOR THE WINTER. THE CAR LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER ON 17"S. I THINK IM GOING TO KEEP MY 17"S FOR THE WINTER AND GET 18" OR 19" FOR THE SUMMER. STILL NOT SURE, I GUESS I HAVE TO GET THE CAR FIRST.
