OOops! You're correct! Thanks for pointing that out - anyway, they're still available. 4 Bridgestone Potenza 205/45 R17 84V Run Flat tires that came with my 2011 CooperS Convertible. Asking $500 for the set.

These are Goodyear Potenza 205/45 R17 84V Run Flat tires that came with my 2011 CooperS Convertible. Who knew that a car sold with a "Cold Weather Package" in Maryland would come with "Summer" tires!? I just replaced them with "All Season" tires. Three have only been in use since July with less than 3K miles, one purchased in Aug has about 1K miles. Available for pickup in Gaithersburg MD. Asking $500 for the set.

Edge, thank you - We just came back from the new Mini showroom in Rockville and Ryan in Parts basically stated everything as you described. Our concern was that perhaps we did not receive the correct tires for a Mini in our temperature zone, but he assured us that every CooperS comes with these same "Summer" high performance tires. I think we are going to wait until we wear these down and then in December we'll switch to the All-Seasons on the same 17" alloy rims we already have.

Thank you. I know they are Potenza tires. What other info or numbers would I need off the tire to properly identify it?

Does anyone have any information about the run-flat tires not being able to be used in temps under 42 degrees F or snow... I have the Brdigeston 17" tires. I recently had a flat and the Tire vendor gave me this tidbit of information. I just bought the car at the end of June and surely dont want to buy 4 new tires so I can drive it in the winter.. Any info you can provide would be much appreciated!
