MINI parts reviews

I run Pirelli P1s in the summer and absolutely love them. I noticed my ride quality was so much better after replacing the run flats.

I run Michelin Pilot Super Sports. They are FANTASTIC. I love them.

I have ContiProContact tires for my R-60. I most definitely purchased Run Flats as they were the “MINI Approved” tires suggested by service guy at the MINI dealership.

Personally I would recommend the Continental EXTREME CONTACT DWS 06. They are as good if not better than Michelin Pilot Super Sport.

After my recent misfortune with A052’s at the track, I decided to go with a cheaper 200tw tire to see how they perform. I ran the Federal RS-Pro’s in 225/40/18 on my 2021 Mini Cooper JCW GP3. Handling was pretty impressive to me, to be honest.

I put EBC Red pads on my MINI and they have been great, the car stops better and I see no dust at all on the wheels.

I am on my second set of Michelin Energy summer tires from Costco - they are H-rated 175/65-15s made in Germany and meant for the base Mini. They have the BMW star on the sidewall.

Now with my '06 Mini R53 which is canister style, I mostly use Mann because I like the design better than OE.

My local Bavarian car specialist refuses to install ceramic pads and will only do OEM due to low performance in the cold and increased wear on rotors. I was looking forward to less brake dust, especially on the front, but I live on top of one of the steepest hills in the city. I now have OEM pads.

Personally I’d go with the Khumos, but that’s mostly because I had a shit experience with Goodyears.
