You'll be good for a while. She's not even broken in yet.

Welcome to the site and congrats on owning a beautiful Mini! Tell us a little about it, are you planning on doing some mods, what color is it, etc. Post some pics when you get a chance.

Welcome to the fourms,

Sounds like you have and F56 MINI Cooper , which is Gen 3 MINI.

The stock tires are runflats. You can drop the runflats as you still will have the TPMS , so the tire pressure monitoring system will still work fine. The ride will improve by going to non runflat.


Good luck and if you need anything or parts.

Another option aside from runflats is to throw w full size spare in the back seat.
