Should I fit non-runflats to my MINI?
I'm replacing all four runflats (195/55 R16 87H) on my MINI Cooper Convertible (2010) with non-runflats to reduce costs and improve driving comfort. I'm looking at 'Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance' summer tyres as they're good value and have excellent wet grip and fuel efficiency ratings. Do you think these are suitable summer tyres or can you suggest better ones in the same price bracket?

Good, fairly quiet and economical tyres. Not much road feel. Fitted to the Peugeot I am currently running. But they won't save your life it you get a puncture on a motorway. Runflats will, because you don't have to stop on the hard shoulder.
From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.

Highly desirable and very pretty. Handles well even with the roof down. Lower emissions than previous MINI Convertible. Air conditioning now standard.
