What wet grip should I look for on the Mini Hatch?

What's different about the 2006-2014 Hatch compared with other generations?
This is the 2006-2014 generation of the Mini Hatch. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.
What does the chassis code R56 mean for tyre choice?
The R56 chassis code identifies this specific generation of the Mini Hatch. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.
