Why Change and Rotate Tires

Your tires play a huge behind-the-scenes role in the handling and performance of your MINI. MINI-approved tires can be easily identified by the jaunty star molded into the sidewalls and are designed to MINI’s exacting performance standards and are specifically matched to each MINI model. What does this mean? Solid acceleration, stable cornering, and smooth braking that can keep up with your MINI’s nimble power and your motoring demands.

Since tires wear over time, regularly changing them out at least every six years will help maintain your MINI’s optimal performance and your safety. In between the six years of getting a completely new tire, regular tire rotations every 7,500 miles will help your tire wear evenly, helping maintain both the longevity of your tires and your vehicle.

 
 
 

MINI Tires

MINI Tire Types

MINI features several approved tire types each curated to suit your driving lifestyle and seasonal needs. While most tires are all-season tires designed for a smooth and quiet ride, reliable all-season traction, and long-lasting tread life, others are engineered for specific tasks. MINI approved tires curated specifically to your MINI includes:

  • MINI Approved All-Season Tires: One tire, four seasons. Thanks to their more aggressive tread pattern and unique composition, these road huggers deliver reliable traction in most weather conditions without sacrificing handling and cornering. However, in colder climates below 45°, F cold weather tires should be utilized.
  • MINI Approved Cold Weather Tires: Starting at just 45 F°, cold weather has an immediate impact on most tires, decreasing traction, steering, and responsiveness. But MINI Approved Cold Weather Tires give you back the control you need, turning a slippery slope into an open course.
  • MINI Approved Run-Flat Tires: MINI Approved Run Flats eliminate the stress of waiting for roadside assistance or changing a flat on the shoulder of a busy expressway. Even in the event of a flat, in some cases, you can continue motoring thanks to reinforced sidewalls, heat-resistant rubber, and a super-sophisticated tire pressure monitoring system.
  • MINI Approved High Performance Tires: Shred corners with confidence when you’re riding on MINI Approved High-Performance Tires. They’re engineered, tested and precision-calibrated to enhance your MINI’s legendary handling in good weather conditions.

Tire wear warning signs

There are several common warning signs that can be felt as well as seen with ease. From decreased fuel efficiency and uneven feel to uncommon noises and poor handling. It’s vital to bring your MINI to Cincinnati MINI’s Service Center the moment you start to notice any of the following signs:

  • Less traction or less responsive braking
  • Hydroplaning in wet weather
  • Noticing a rougher or noisier ride
  • Loss of control while cornering
  • Noticeable tread loss

Underinflated tires are dangerous and cost you money. Due to the added resistance deflated tires produce, you’ll likely experience premature wear to your car and poor fuel economy.

Check your tire pressure at least once a month, and remember to check the pressure when the tires are cold. Air does expand with heat and checking when tires are hot will give an erroneous reading.

Wheel alignment is crucial for your vehicle’s drivability and tire life.

If you’ve noticed your MINI pulling to one side, poor steering responses, or unusual wear on your front tire, bring your car in immediately to see if your wheel has become unaligned.

An out-of-balance wheel can produce multiple complications with wear on shocks, bearings, and other suspension parts.

Use a coin as a tread depth gauge; insert a penny into the tread, Lincoln’s head down. If the top of Abe’s head touches the tread face, your tires are at 2/32” depth, the minimum required by law, and it’s time for a replacement. Now try the test again with a quarter. Does the tread reach Washington’s head? If so, your tread depth is 4/32”. One more time with the penny - if the tread reaches the Lincoln memorial, your tread depth is 6/32”.

No vehicle has 50/50 weight distribution from front to rear, and the inertia of braking or cornering tends to transfer weight to the front tires, wearing them more quickly. That’s why it’s important to rotate tires regularly to ensure even wear.
