Since May, I have been using Continental Contact Pro 175/65/15 on Fergat wheels. These were designed for the first version of the new Mini Coopers.

This width still looks vintage and with 2 up and luggage the Spider was reasonably loaded and during the Monte Shelton Rally the tires did not rub any where.

The suspension is fresh with standard rate springs and shocks set at the standard ride height. I understand that 5 inch wide wheels can be used, but nothing wider.

Tires are good in the wet or dry--no track time.
