Can I fit runflats to a MINI Cooper?

My wife has a 2009 MINI Cooper which now needs four new tyres. She is uneasy about the lack of a spare tyre and has little faith in the tyre inflation,sealing system. Would you recommend fitting runflats and if so which would be the best ones?

Answered by Honest John

Yes, you can fit runflats. Just be aware that if the car is on 17-inch wheels the stiffer sidewalls of the runflats will mean harsher ride quality. The latest runflats are Bridgesetone Driveguard.
