the roof looks good painted black. can you fit 19s? :D

i wish the tires on my truck looked as good as your old tires!!!!!

[pimpedout97x]

19s would fit, but i like my 17s..i personally wouldnt go bigger than 18s on a 35 series tire.

Did you keep the runflat system?

[pimpedout97x]

system? its in the tire, and no...i hated them, the ride was horrible, and treadwear, as you can see from the stock runflat tires, was horrible.

theres not one person on any MINI forum that you will find that liked their stock runflats over other good tires lol...theyre just horrible, except for what theyre mad to do, which is let u drive on a flat for how ever many miles. only thing i liked is that they held up being as bald as i let them get, if they were normal tires they prally would have popped lol.

but ya, the runflats are 200 each, and the Nittos i got (5 star rating btw) were 96 each, free shipping, and you get 25 dollars off when you order all 4.

What's the treadwear rating on those Neetos?

My tires look worse then the ones you removed. I've been driving on slicks.

[CBFryman]

$96, I pay $150 a tire for the cheap ones. Tall sidewalls and wide tread FTL :(

here you go here's what my tires go for about. i don't have that brand but the price isn't much cheaper than that.
