Runflats

[ET03]

HI just got a checkmate with runflats on .has any one used the tyer insurance from mini cherishe .Not sure how much it costs

[minicabrio]

If you've got a checkmate, you'll probably have the Pirelli Eurfori@ runflats - word to the wise, watch out in the wet, they're not good Ditched mine after 1k miles for conventional non-runflat tyres

Regarding the insurance, it depends on how much you drive. Obviously runflats are costly to replace versus a conventional tyre, but if you only ever drive in rural areas, the chances of getting a nail in one are remote, so the insurance wouldn't be worth it

If however you work in town, near a screw factory, then go for it

^^ what he said the pirellis are nasty things if you want to keep run-flats then the new Dunlop's and bridgestones are much better

[minicabrio]

Yep, actually the new Dunlop Sport 01s are very good..... borrowed an R56 S Clubman for the Cotswolds run last month (18" JCW alloys with Dunlop 01s) and they were very good

As far as I'm aware though, all UK Checkmates (with the 17" flame spoke alloys) had the Pirelli Eufori@s fiited from the factory, I'd even go as far to say they're dangerous in the wet!

I changed from the Dunlops to the Bridgestones RE050A's and they are AMAZING. Feels so much better in both wet and dry conditions and even steering feel is much easier.
