Hi all,
Well after all the Mini Runs my tyres are starting to get a little low on tread so I thought I would treat myself to some new tyres...

Im wanting to get some new tyres for my ONE (Im keeping my alloys) I hate my run-flats so god dam hard on every bump.
Can anyone recommend some good ones? I need them to last like 10k - 12k of miles...

My Price is around £400-£500

You're looking for 15" tires.
