Last summer I bought a Mini Cooper r50 and "very generously" he fitted a new "set" of these tyres (-1 which was a used full winter tyre :/ ). I heard about the minis go kart like handling but I just couldn't see it as the car felt all over the place and trying to keep the car going straight at a decent speed was challenging even in the summer.
During the winter I had absolutely zero control over the car and the car would slide out without me even realising the tyres where not gripping at all until I was completely sideways luckily not hitting anyone and there was no way of even knowing you where sliding as the car feels like it's sliding all the time in the wet anyway. To anyone looking at buying one of these tyres DON'T they are a death trap. any dealers putting these on a car should be ashamed. IF you have a set REMOVE them not only are you endangering yourself but others too. but the run flat features nice cause they went flat after 700 miles to 7psi.
