When it comes to ensuring you have the perfect tyres fitted on your MINI, you won't go wrong with MINI Approved Tyres.
MINI Approved Tyres are marked with a 'star' emblem on the sidewall of the tyre. The star lets you know that your MINI's replacement tyres are every bit as good as the originals.
You won't be surprised to hear that driving in winter you are twice as likely to have an accident in the ice, snow or rain.* The best way to have a safe journey from autumn through to spring is by using tyres that have been specially developed to cope wit the rigours of the great British weather.
Winter tyres don't look different from your normal summer tyres, but the extra blocks, channels and sipes make all the difference. These grooves are specially designed to work together with the optimised blend of rubber and silica compound to make light work of the heaviest road conditions. With average Brrritish winter temperatures dipping very low, you should now consider switching to winter tyres with more natural rubber in their compound to give extra grip at those lower temperatures.
We will be more than happy to carry out a tyre health check for you. We'll look for any bulges or cracks in your tyres and if they need replacing, we'll only fit the best tyres - MINI Approved Tyres. Call us on 0845 125 6943 or pop in to see at Cooper Colchester.
Most MINIs are now fitted with Run-flat tyres - this means that even with a puncture, you can safely drive for up to 150 miles at 50 mph until you reach a MINI Dealer. You can spot a MINI Run-flat tyre because they have the RSC logo on the sidewall.
