Decided to remove the Run Flat tires and upgraded to Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires. Immediately I could tell how much better the car drives. Smoother and quieter. Really looking forward to winter.
I put the KN in my 2019 mini cooper s, better performance noticed. Nothing huge though.
On our 2014 Mini Cooper S Roadster we installed these Koni’s just a couple of months ago. Ride is much smoother without loosing any steering feel. Speed bumps are much less of a problem now.
Did a regular maintenance at 29K km and 4 y.o. with oil and air filters and stuff for 370 EUR. Maybe even spark plugs, i forgot. Later did a brake fluid change for 70 EUR.
And yes, brake fluid does degrade, the brake pedal felt smoother and more consistent after the change.
I had a set on a 2006 Mini Cooper sjcw 215 40 17s now the ride was harsh and stiff but let me tell you you hit a turn you'll come out of it with the biggest shit eating grin on your face you ever could think of. For the price I'd call it a best bang for your buck tire so since you got them drive them you'll see they're pretty good.
Huge fan of the Continental DWS 06 Plus, had the prior non plus version for about 5 years on my supercharged MINI Cooper, and they were fantastic. The plus version is even better!
My winter SE tyres are nokian WR G4. These have a good balance of grip, life and rolling resistance. They are a little down on the stock UHP summer hankooks in 80+ weather. But in PA, they're likely a great all year choice.
I just got a set of CrossClimate 2, it feels like an upgrade from oem bridgestone run flats. Pretty comfy.
The water pump broke (fortunately stuck open so no major damage). The part is RIDICULOUSLY expensive (it looks like an artificial heart) and was on a month-long backorder but everything went smoothly.
An extra $550. I asked what that included, and was shocked to hear air filter, cabin air filter and topping the brake fluid.
