One of the few tires that come in the size (205 55 16) and run flat. I am not a fan of run flat tires, but since the MINI is our DD feel more comfortable having run flat tires. A bit noisy but expected of this type of tire.

Can't beat the price for a RFT with great performance.
The Yokohama Advan Sport ZPS is an ultra-high-performance tire designed for use on performance and passenger cars and offers drivers strong handling and consistent traction on wet and dry roads along with run-flat technology.
Features & Benefits
Ultra-high-performance tread; should not be used when temperatures are consistently below 45 degrees Fahrenheit
Black sidewall
Run flat technology allows drivers to go up to 50 miles at speeds less than 50 MPH after a puncture or pressure loss
Getting a flat tire from a pothole or any other road hazard can be a serious situation for drivers as they try to safely navigate to the side of the road or a parking lot without hurting themselves. Fortunately, run-flat technology was designed to offer drivers the ability to keep driving for up to 50 miles at a reduced speed after a blowout, and the Yokohama Advan Sport ZPS does this and more thanks to its unique sidewall reinforcement, supportive bead filler, and durable bear wide. The Advan Sport ZPS is designed to deliver superb performance and offers excellent grip thanks to high-grade silica rubber compound. Additionally, the variable rounded grooves and four wide grooves funnels water out of the tread for enhanced wet grip and reduced risk of hydroplaning.
Yokohama Advan Sport tires could be made at one of Yokohama's plants Salem, VA, West Point, MS, or Japan. Advan Sport tires could also be made in other parts of the world.
As an ultra-high-performance tire, Yokohama Advan Sport ZPS is available with the V speed rating, meaning that it can be driven up to 149 mph. Despite the V speed rating, the Advan Sport ZPS should not be driven at speeds up to 149 mph on the track as excessive speeds can cause the tire to wear out. Additionally, up to 149 mph is not a legal speed limit on paved roads in the United States.
Yes, Yokohama Advan Sport ZPS tires can be used in wet weather as they have four wide grooves that constantly eliminate water while in motion. Additionally, the Advan Sport ZPS features an asymmetrical tread pattern and variable rounded grooves that boosts traction and handling performance on wet roads.
Yokohama Advan Sport ZPS tires are specifically built for use on performance-oriented and passenger cars. Two major characteristics of these tires are run-flat technology and great handling in dry and wet conditions. Run-flat technology allows drivers to have constant stability and limited use of these tires in a loss-of-pressure situation, enabling them to reach a tire shop safely. With these tires, you can take the entire family out to various locations without worrying about a flat.
No, there is no mileage warranty on offer for Yokohama Advan Sport ZPS tires.
No, Yokohama Advan Sport ZPS tires cannot be used in winter weather conditions. As a performance tire, the Advan Sport ZPS utilizes a sticky rubber compound that will harden when temperatures are consistently below 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
