Dial up the attitude.
The MINI roof rack is designed for a maximum permissible roof load of current MINI models of 75 kilograms. You can find the technical information on the maximum permissible roof load in the “Technical data” section in the Owner’s Handbook of your MINI.
If you change just one single tyre on your front- or rear-wheel-drive MINI, make sure that the difference in tread depth between the new tyre and the other tyre on the same axle is no more than 2 mm. If you drive a MINI ALL4, all four tyres must be replaced at the same time to avoid damaging the transfer box.
This all depends on where you normally drive. If you usually experience hot summers and cold winters, we recommend that you switch to MINI Approved Summer Tyres when the temperature rises above 7°C, then back to MINI Approved Winter Tyres when the weather cools down. This way you can enjoy your MINI as it performs to its true potential.
MINI Approved Summer Tyres represent the ideal balance of comfort, acoustics, and rolling resistance. They have larger tread block and reliably prevent hydroplaning and offer increased directional stability and steering precision even at high speeds. This makes your journey safer, and delivers superior comfort and handling.
MINI Approved Winter Tyres are safer on the road at temperatures below 7°C. They are equipped with additional rubber patterns that open when your MINI is in motion. This creates extra grip that helps ensure high traction and directional stability on snow, slush, and mud. It also improves braking distance up to 10% in wet conditions and up to 50% in ice and snow.
Run-flat technology enables you to continue driving your MINI with a puncture at speeds of up to 80 km/h. The reinforced side walls are made of a heat-resistant rubber, while special rim geometry stops the pressure-less tyre from slipping off, even on bends.
This reduces the risk of accident as there is no sudden loss of tyre pressure. You don’t need to stop on a hard shoulder or other dangerous spots, so you can continue to your appointment without delay. It also means you don’t need to carry a spare wheel or jack inside your MINI.
