Hi All

The misses now has a second hand BMW Mini Cooper. The garage has put Goodyear Eagle tyres on the car. How do I know if these are run flat tyres or not?

Cheers

 

For Good Year, look for this logo on the sidewall:

 

Cheers, Ali.

I noticed the wall had RSC stamped on it......so was just worried for a moment

 

My mini has Runflats. I don't see what peoples problem are with them?

 

RSC is BMW manufacture marking. Which means it's a OEM Runflat.

Good Years should also have the marking in the picture in addition to the RSC (unless it's an odd batch).

 

A better pic:

 

thanks for the update....it is probably why the car is about as comfortable as riding a porcupine.

 

Ali, or anyone else for that matter, is it possible to tell me what other makes of car has a space saver that fits a 2006 mini cooper? I know the River 25 does.....

Cheers

 

It'll be very hard to find anywhere that can guarantee good caliper clearance*, but checking bore, PCD and offset on this site would be a good place to start.

*Best bet for caliper clearance will probably be to find cars with all other wheel-specs matching, and then do a cross-reference on brake disc diameters.
