FLAT TIRE – RUN FLAT TIRES*
Continuing driving with a damaged
tire
With Run Flat tires, you can continue driv-
ing under certain conditions, depending on
the vehicle load and the severity of the tire
damage, at a maximum speed of 50 mph /
80 km/h.
You can determine the possible mileage for
continued driving on the basis of the fol-
lowing general indications:
>Tire inflation pressure 0 psi / 0 kPa:
approx. 95 miles / 150 km
>Tire inflation pressure 7.2–14.5 psi /
50–100 kPa:
approx. 300 miles / 500 km
>Tire inflation pressure greater than
14.5 psi / 100 kPa:
approx. 600 miles / 1,000 km.
Tire change set
Your MINI is additionally equipped with a
tire change set. This is located in the MINI
COOPER in the cargo area under the floor
mat.
In the MINI COOPER S the tire change set is
located in a separate bag which is attached
to the eyelets on the cargo area floor by
means of tie-down straps, see page 75.
When changing a tire, always observe the
safety measures on page 112, and follow
the procedure described on page 114 ff.
In case of a flat tire the tire change
set is not needed, since your MINI has
Run Flat tires.<
