Tire question

I wanted to know is 205 width tire will fit the 16 inch rims on the sport package rim for the Mini Cooper? I currently have the 195 width runflats and am looking for higher performance tires. Thanks in advance!

205/50 tires will fit fine on 16" wheels

I'm tired of compromising performance and ride harshness to the stiff, sidewalled runflat tires so I'm gonna go to high performance tires all around!

Plus, if I get a flat, that's what the 24 hour roadside service is for!

The Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D2 EMT (runflat) is list in 205/50R16Z size. Not sure about availability but they're listed.
