Tires NANKANG or MRF

MT71s are good and the FT7 Nankangs seem to work ok:

Tires that work well in the heat with more pace than a V730? Nankang CRS.

Also lift kit, 14” rims and nankang AT tires so I can get to more remote job sites.

You may also look at Nankang AR1, 100tw semi slicks, if it’s only for track and dry days.

I had great experience, my car weighs 3k lbs, and the set lasted me for 16-17 track days, and it was a used set.

The grip in these tires is insane and improved braking drastically.

Nankang are cheap budget tires. They might have ran out of money recently and have been cutting corners on maintenance.

We had a similar situation with kia ev. The left front tyre at night got punctured (sharp cut, we suspect it was due to impact of the pothole) due to a massive pothole in National highway that was invisible at night. The tyre went flat in 5 seconds.

Nannkang NS20 is the cheapest tire that's good enough you won't think about it

My MRF tyre bursted too in rain on a pothole about the height of 10 cm. MRF Quality is dogshit

I'll steer clear of mrf. You have much better options out there. Their wet grip is horrible

I don’t drive my Mini much, sub 100 miles a year. I had Nankangs but they started to split after 18 months. Not sure if lack of movement didn’t help but it was annoying.
