MINI Star-Mark Tyres

High Standards.

The star marking indicates that a tyre has been specially produced for MINI – and in accordance with the highest MINI standards.
The development of the tyres also begins at an early stage in the development of the vehicle and can take up to three years, culminating in extensive testing.
Tyres with star marking are tested in six general areas: safety, wear, comfort, efficiency and – characteristic for MINI – in two area of driving pleasure: driving style and sporty behaviour.
In addition, they are developed in collaboration with selected premium manufacturers (e.g. Pirelli, Michelin, Continental, Goodyear, Dunlop and Hancook).
Simply ask your MINI dealership for tyres with star marking – precisely fitting, tested and safe.

PRODUCTION

We do not want to reinvent the wheel, but rather bring it to perfection. This spirit is vivid in each Genuine MINI Wheel. Each wheel is a reflection of our high demands on durability and limits of dynamic, static and simulation testing that goes far beyond legal requirements. The result is a high-quality wheel that you can rely on in every situation – elegant in style, uncompromising in substance.

1. CASTING

Genuine MINI Wheels are cast from molten aluminium. The liquid metal is filled into a mold where it cools before it is removed, strictly monitored by the latest computer technology which guarantees the high quality of our wheels. This casting process reduces costs and allows a high degree of precision and freedom of design. Cast wheels are low in weight and high in stiffness.

2. FORGING AND MILLING

In the forging process, the wheel is forged from the solid piece of aluminium. The high-end option is to mill the entire spoke design after forging the base material. Forged aluminium wheels are 10 to 20 per cent lighter in weight than aluminium cast wheels and allow a more delicate design of the spokes.

3. FLOW FORMING

Cylindrical flow forming is a pressure forming process. While spinning, pressure is applied to the inner barrel of the cast wheel. This process stretches and compresses the aluminium, which increases tensile strength and makes it possible to achieve particularly low wall thicknesses for the rim. The result is a very light-weight and strong wheel with significant benefits in terms of shock resistance, elongation and load capacity.

4. UNDERCUTTING

This method can also be used for both forged and cast wheels. Here, non-structurally relevant mass on the wheel is reduced by machining of material from the spokes. This further reduces the wheel weight and creates premium styling effects as undercutting between the spoke connection and the well base gives the rim styling a three-dimensional appearance.

5. SURFACE DESIGN

Regardless of which manufacturing technologies are used, the surfaces of Genuine MINI Light Alloy Wheels can be finished in a variety of ways. The basic method – powder coating – makes the wheel resistant to environmental factors such as corrosive de-icing salt. In the past, light alloy wheels were often painted silver with a clear lacquer coating. Today, the MINI portfolio includes numerous designs and refinements that require an elaborate finishing process.

Less Noise, More Driving Pressure

LESS NOISE.

More driving pleasure.

Genuine MINI light-alloy wheels are fitted with innovative tyres and features integral noise dampening for excellent acoustic comfort.
A layer of foam on the tyre’s inner surface absorbs the noise produced by vibrations within the tyre’s cavity, which is filled with air causing it to act as a resonator.
This leads to a substantial reduction in the level of tyre noise reaching the cabin.

Sophisticated elegance.

Aerodynamically optimised light-alloy wheels contribute to the lightweight construction and reduce air resistance, further adding to the efficiency of your MINI.
Their mostly enclosed surfaces bring about an effective reduction in the amount of air turbulence produced around the wheels. The Air Performance Wheels help to reduce drag in a very innovative way and optimised aerodynamic properties with a sophisticated sense of sporty elegance.

Frequently asked questions.

KEEP OR REPLACE?

The grip and handling of your tyres depends heavily on their tread depth. MINI recommends a tread depth of 3mm to ensure a safe and pleasant driving experience. With many longitudinal grooves, large tread blocks, an optimal rubber compound and adequate tread depth, Genuine MINI Star-Mark Tyres are the best choice for your MINI.

RUN FLAT?

MINI Run-Flat Tyres will never let you down, even if you have a puncture. The Tyre Pressure Monitoring device that is installed in your MINI alerts you, and instead of stopping, it allows you to drive at up to 80km/h for another 80km. The strengthened sides of the tyres stabilise your vehicle, keeping you on track and allowing you to safely reach the nearest MINI Service Partner.

WE GOT THE ANSWERS TO YOUR TYRE QUESTIONS.

What is the right tyre pressure?

The pressure details for the approved tyre sizes can be found on the B pillar when the driver’s door is open.
Depending on the vehicle and year of manufacture, an electronic tyre pressure sign is used at BMW. The tyre pressure sign affixed there is supplemented by an additional user menu and is shown in the Central Information Display (CID).

When and how often should I check my tyre pressure?

Correct tyre pressure determines the service life of the tyres, driving safety, ride comfort and also fuel consumption. This is why we recommend checking the tyre pressure and adjusting it as necessary at least twice per month and before setting off on a lengthy journey. You should do this even if the tyre pressure of your vehicle is monitored electronically.
If your vehicle has an emergency spare wheel, please check this at the same time. The tyre pressure figures refer to cold tyres or tyres that are at the same temperature as the surroundings.

What are MINI Star-Mark Tyres?

The star marking is the MINI stamp of approval. All MINI star marked tyres have been tested and developed in partnership with leading tyre manufacturers to ensure they harmonise with your MINI in the best way possible ensuring optimum performance, comfort and safety.

How do I find the correct tyres for my vehicle?

When buying a wheel-and-tyre combination, please contact a MINI dealership.
