3 EQUIPPED FOR INCREASED SAFETY. Introduced from March 2014, all new MINIs are fitted with the tyre pressure control system (RDC). This system means you can always keep an eye on the pressure in your tyres. You benefit from increased safety. The correct tyre pressure reduces the risk of tyre damage, thereby increasing safety. You benefit from reduced fuel consumption. Tyres at the correct pressure generate less rolling resistance. This impacts positively on fuel consumption. You benefit from a longer service life. The correct tyre pressure helps to prevent irregular wear and tear, thereby extending the tyre s service life. What s in your tyre is up to you. Even in cars with a tyre pressure control system the tyre pressure should be checked every two weeks. All-round safety for more driving fun. How RDC works. An RDC sensor is installed in the tyre valve of all four wheels. This monitors the pressure of each individual tyre. At a critical pressure (20% below TARGET or below the defined minimum pressure of less than 1.7 bar), you are alerted via the Control Display inside the car, enabling you to take the necessary action. What does this mean as far as you are concerned? As the driver of a new car with tyre pressure control system, you must make sure that any winter tyres you buy are fitted with an RDC sensor. MINI offers all tyres and complete wheel sets with RDC sensors. Genuine MINI Complete Wheel Sets are designed in order to precisely meet the requirements of your car model. Your MINI Retailer will be glad to advise you whether your car is fitted with a tyre pressure control system and which wheel sets best meet your needs. MINI Service high-profile support. MINI Service specialists ensure the tyre pressure control system remains fully functional after a tyre change. They set the correct tyre pressure and program the RDC system as required. Fuel consumption and rolling resistance. As tyre pressure is reduced, rolling resistance and therefore fuel consumption are increased.

4 Safety that gets you where you re going. From 7 degrees winter tyres. Even at a temperature of 7 C, summer tyres no longer function ideally since their rubber mixture hardens at low temperatures. This impacts negatively on grip, steering and traction, especially on wet or snow-covered roads. Winter tyres are made of special rubber mixtures which are resilient to low temperatures, enabling them to retain their grip in the cold. Winter tyre requirement. Context-related winter tyre requirement. Winter tyre requirement for specific sections. No legal winter tyre requirement. Winter tyres Summer tyres Highly recommended Performance level 7 Not recommended Temperature ( C) Good reasons to opt for Genuine MINI Winter Tyres: Holiday makers take note! Below 7 C Winter tyres below 7 C. Winter tyres offer increased safety at temperatures below 7 C. Up to 10 % Braking distance on wet roads. In cold, wet weather the braking distance is reduced by up to 10% with winter tyres. In many European countries winter tyres are required by law. They have to be installed in the event of ice, snow-covered roads, slush or frost conditions which can set in early on in the season. Failure to comply can attract a fine, and insurance cover may be partially invalidated in the event of an accident. up to 40 % Wear and tear. In the cold season, summer tyres wear up to 40 % more quickly than winter tyres. up to 50 % Braking distance on snow or ice. In snow or icy conditions, winter tyres shorten the braking distance by up to 50%. Ask your MINI Centre about minimum tread depths and arrange an appointment for a tyre change in good time. 4

5 All-round Safety. MINI Tyre Technology. Genuine MINI Tyres with star marking. To ensure you enjoy safe travel and unlimited driving pleasure at all times, MINI wheels and tyres not only undergo an intensive selection and testing process, they are also matched to the overall concept of the relevant model down to the last detail. Only if a tyre provides characteristic MINI handling and matches the demanding MINI criteria 100 % on all tests it is awarded with the MINI star marking. Impressive benefits: Excellent safety on wet or dry roads as well as at high speeds. Individually adapted, tested and developed to match the dynamic control systems and Genuine MINI Wheels. Particularly durable and high performance for long-lasting driving fun. Genuine MINI Tyres with Run-Flat technology. In order to ensure that a flat tyre does not pose a major safety risk, tyres with emergency running properties (Run-Flat technology) are fitted with specially reinforced side walls so that your MINI can still be manoeuvred even in the event of complete pressure loss, enabling travel to be continued over a distance of approx. 50 miles (at 50 mph and a medium load) to the nearest workshop. You also benefit from a larger luggage compartment volume after all, there is no need for a spare wheel or a mobility set. 5

6 One-of-a-kind. Genuine MINI light alloy wheels. Retain your individual flair. Wheel styling has an especially powerful impact on the character of your MINI. A sophisticated design process is required to ensure that the styling harmonises with the overall look of the car a process which starts with the development of the new vehicle. Not only visual aspects are taken into account: each wheel is developed to meet specific requirements. Various technologies and production processes are applied depending on whether the focus is on design, sportiness or aerodynamics. And outstanding quality is not the question as far as we re concerned it s the answer so as to ensure you get safely to wherever you re going and can enjoy unlimited driving fun as you do so.
