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.

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

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!

Continental Premium Contact 2 175-65-15-H MINI One D 15,000 miles December 10, 2012
These were original fitment for my MINI One D. They are good to drive on but now I have done 15k they front ones are almost illegal (outside edge worn). The back ones will probably last for another 5k. Thats with a mosly gentle style and a lot of motorway miles at 65 mph. Basicaly I would expect to get at least 25k out of the fronts so thats disapointing. I am replacing the front ones now with Hankook K425 Kinergy Eco's, hopefuly that will improve my fuel economy and they will last a bit longer too.
