twobone Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm getting a 2014 mini cooper for my wife (and me) The turbo 3 looks like fun I'm thinking of going with the base wheel and tire option. It seems to me folks these days always go for large diameter wheels. With the rough roads around here and the stiff set up on the mini I'm thinking the higher aspect with smooth out the ride. Also my wife is bound to scuff up a set of wide alloy rims. Lastly I hear the handling of the base mini used to be sweeter with the smaller tire Thoughts?

MK1962 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Go with the base tire and wheels, we had a supercharged 2012 with the handling package, big wheels and run flats. Very harsh ride and expensive tires, would not do that again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee break Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I got my wife a 2013 Mini Hardtop. We got the standard model. We didn't want the run-flats. I asked the salesman "If you were blindfolded and got in a car, could you tell the type of tires?" It was a definite "Yes". It's a fun little car. You will also save $$$.
