What Kind of Tires Do I Need for My MINI Cooper?

Individual tire sizes for MINI Cooper models depend on the trim you own, including the MINI Cooper Base, Countryman, Paceman, Clubman, Convertible, Hardtop, and Roadster. Each tire size has two of the best all-season tires and high-performance tires (all-season or summer) Denver drivers can buy for that specific size.

For our area in Boulder, we highly recommend all-season tires. If you want performance tires, then you should invest in winter tires for colder months because snow can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s handling.

Why Am I Seeing the MINI Cooper Tire Pressure Light?

Is the tire pressure light illuminated on your MINI Cooper’s dash? If your MINI is driving normally and your tires are properly inflated, the issue could be the Tire Pressure Monitoring System itself. When the TPMS is working incorrectly, the light turns on even if air pressure is acceptable. A broken tire pressure sensor could be to blame. MINI of Loveland’s service center near Windsor can diagnose and repair the problem using OEM parts to make sure your car gets the best parts possible.

When Do I Need New MINI Cooper Tires?

One of the quickest ways to tell if you need new tires is the penny test. Place a penny between the treads of your car’s tires. If the top of Lincoln’s head is visible, the treads are worn and the tire needs to be replaced. If part of Lincoln’s head is covered, your tire still has more than 2/32 of an inch of tread depth. 2/32 of an inch is the recommended minimum tread depth as noted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Other signs to look for include:

• Cracked sidewalls
• Blisters on the tire’s surface
• Shaking even on smooth driving surfaces
• Uneven tire wear
