Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Uniroyal RainExpert 5 175-65-15 MINI ONE 2,000 miles September 5, 2025

Tyres fitted to Mini one. All round i am very pleased with these tyres. Have driven during very heavy rain on country roads and found to be very sure footed and reassuring grip.
Drives well in the dry and so far have not had any grip issues.

Toyo Proxes CF2 175-65-15-H MINI One D 250 miles August 9, 2019

Bought these tyres after reading a lot of reviews. Replaced a mixture of Michlin & Dunlop tyres, Just as good at a fraction of the price.
Tried in most weather conditions. More than happy. Would buy aging

Accelera Alpha 205-60-16- MINI One D April 22, 2018

Had these on the rear of a mini when I bought it and vredstein sportrac 5 on fronts
At about 5mm they've totally given up in the wet
Makes for great oversteer but a bit on the dangerous side
Wouldn't get these again

Toyo Celsius 195-55-16- MINI ONE 12 miles February 8, 2018

These were hard to find when we got them, but they were specifically chosen as a std, all season tyre to replace the back breaking runflats on the mini. What a revelation, they totally changed the handling, comfort and stability of the car all for the better.
They've only experienced light snow but handled this fine, as with ice, mud, wet and dry. They made the car FUN and gave my wife total confidence whatever the conditions.
I tried three different all seasons on three different cars, these Toyo Celcius on the MINI, Pirelli Cinturato (self sealing) on an Altea XL and Goodyear Vector A/S gen 2 on a Toyota hybrid (that are approaching 30,000 in 4 months with 4mm left). All of them were chosen for the specific vehicle use and all have performed well, with the Goodyear seeing the widest range of road conditions and proving almost faultless. I would buy any of these again for the cars they are on as they suit the usage of the individual cars (MINI for a great driving tyre (TOYO), Altea for self seal against puncture (PIrelli) and the Hybrid that travels anywhere in any conditions (Goodyear).
I hope this helps someone.

Sailun Atrezzo Eco 225-45-17- MINI ONE 100 miles September 6, 2016

I had 4 Sailun Atrezzo Eco tyres fitted to my Mini Hatch.I comparison to the original Michelin Energy Saver tyres they give a much better ride and the steering feel is fantastic.The ultimate level of grip might be less but steering feel and ride quality are much more valuable to me.

Falken ZE914 175-55-15- MINI One D 3,000 miles July 10, 2013

Quick update after 6 months and 3k miles.
7mm left on rears, 6mm on fronts. All even wear.
Good tyre for dry grip and comfort. They have been quiet from the start and seem to smooth the bumps and pot holes well.
They are however a soft tyre, so i expect wear rate will be poorer to harder types.
Very happy so far considering the value of this tyre.

Falken ZE914 175-65-15-H MINI One D 100 miles January 6, 2013

Fitted 4 to the car and have felt immediate improvement from the previous Michelin Energys.
Comfort is the the best I've experienced on any tyre, probably due to the soft compound and shoulders. Thus doubt wear will as good as previous tyres, but with my steady driving style il be happy with 20k. These are such an improvement and I will be looking to put them on the A3 next month.
Will update regarding wear in the future, but defos recommend if you are looking for a smooth quiet ride, plus they look good too!

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 215-45-17-W MINI one seven 200 miles December 24, 2012

Initial post, I will post more as the tyres wear. The car has been running on 205/45/17 but after reading that some mini owners have moved to 215/45/17 to allow the use of the goodyear AS2 I thought I would take the plunge. The first thing that was evident was the reduction in road noise.

My star rating is open to change as I find. I cover 750 miles a week so it wont take me long to settle on my ratings
