About Mini tyres in the UK
Mini fits run-flat tyres on many of its UK cars, paired with tyre pressure monitoring and no spare wheel. Replacement tyres should typically also be run-flats unless advised otherwise.
The most accurate way to find Mini tyres is the size on your current sidewall — for example 205/55 R16 91V — then match brand, pattern and seasonal type to your driving.
Tyre sizes for Mini vary by model, generation, trim and wheel size. Mini's UK lineup covers 9 models on this site, each with multiple year-by-year fitments.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Do I have to use Mini-approved tyres?
Approved tyres are recommended for performance and warranty consistency, but UK law and MOT only require tyres that match the original size, load index and speed rating. Many drivers use major-brand non-approved tyres successfully.
Are all-season tyres suitable for a Mini?
For UK Mini drivers doing mixed mileage, all-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol can be a sensible single-set choice. Confirm size and load rating match your specific model and trim.
Can I drive on a Mini space-saver tyre?
Many Mini cars carry a space-saver spare designed for short, low-speed use only — typically up to 50 mph for a maximum of 50 miles. Replace it with a full tyre as soon as you can.
Are Mini OEM-marked tyres different from standard ones?
Mini works with tyre makers to develop OEM-marked versions tuned for specific models — typically with adjusted compound and structure. OEM markings (e.g. star, MO, AO) match the car's suspension calibration but aren't always the cheapest replacement option.
How do I find the right tyre size for my Mini?
On any Mini, the most reliable starting point is the tyre size on your existing sidewall — for example 205/55 R16 91V. Match width, profile, rim, load index and speed rating before choosing a brand.
