| Wheel problems |
I have owned this vehicle for 1 year and three months. I did not have the choice of selecting any other tire. Mini cooper( BMW) put run flats on vehicle because there is no where for a spare tire. I keep the vehicle in the garage at a condo in florida with no access to anyone. I have 4250 miles on the vehicle. I have had three flats. Mini related that I had the oppurtunity to buy a tire and suspension warranty when new for 800. 00 plus dollars. I can't remember the last time I had one flat on any other vehicle. My wife or I have used this vehicle for less than 5 months and this is the third flat. Mini denies any deficiencies with the tires but I don't believe them. This avages out to a flat about every 1400 miles. My father got better milage out of retreads. Statistically it seems significant and there is a defect. Please investigate and respond.
