Check this first

Wheel sizes 16" or 17" The wheel package decides which one your car has.
Tire sizes listed 3 One size per model year across the years we cover.

Check before you order. The surest answer is the tires on the car right now: the size is molded into the sidewall. The placard inside the driver's door tells you what the factory fitted, which can differ from what a previous owner put on. Our guide on reading a tire size shows exactly where to look.

What Mini approves

Mini

MINI uses BMW's star marking, since MINI is a BMW brand.

A starred tire is approved for that MINI. Run-flats are common from the factory on MINI, so check whether the tire you are replacing says RSC or ZP before you order a standard one.

Brands that carry the approval

Pirelli Continental Goodyear Hankook

Written on the sidewall as: Pirelli Cinturato P7 (★).
