Tires for the Mini...

The tires on the MINI were getting down to the minimum tread depth.  The factory Continentals were finished.  Not to mention that there was one non-standard one and three standard.  Maria wanted something a little more aggressive with better wet and winter traction so I selected these.  They have roughly the same aspect ratio and about 1 inch more width.  Reportedly the speedometer will be running about 1 MPH under actual speed.

The tires were changed at 28,689 miles...

Other items serviced at this mileage (under warrantee):

  • Oil and Filter
  • Micro-filter (passenger air)
  • Transmission Fluid change
  • replacement key (2)
  • rear wiper
  • thermostat and gasket (was leaking)
  • brake fluid flush

P195/60R-15 GOODYEAR ASSURANCE

The Goodyear Assurance radial featuring TripleTred Technology is a premium Passenger All-Season tire designed to take on Mother Nature to give the drivers of family coupes, sedans and minivans peace of mind for any driving condition. It was developed to be versatile by combining long wear with traction in any weather condition, including light snow.

On the outside, the Assurance TripleTred radials have a directional tread design with a dry road zone featuring stable shoulder blocks to provide confident maneuvering on dry roads, an intermediate water zone with carved Aquachutes to direct water away from under the tire tread to maintain more contact with the road in the rain, and a central snow and ice zone featuring a heavily siped interlocking rib to enhance traction in light snow and on ice. On the inside, the Assurance TripleTred radial's polyester cord body and twin steel belts help deliver a smooth ride along with strength and durability.

Assurance TripleTred radials feature Goodyear's PermaBlack compound additive that maintains new-tire appearance throughout the life of the tire.
