PS4s are replaced with PS5s - game on...
The Mini has been busy of late, racking up both a good amount of miles and, well, a good amount of invoices as well. But nothing has been completely unexpected and the car that’s resulted from the money spent is only becoming more likeable. I never thought I’d enjoy Mini ownership this much.
Changing the tyres was one of two significant jobs undertaken recently. I knew the fronts were running a tad low, and were highlighted as an advisory on the MOT; no tremendous surprise given it’s a fairly powerful little FWD car that implores you to drive with a bit of vim. With Michelins all round doing a decent job so far, I saw no reason to change from the 205/45 R17 Pilot Sport 4s already on the Challenge alloys.
This might sound odd given the remit of the tyre and the car: the most noticeable immediate improvements are in comfort and refinement. Not exactly Mini strengths as standard, so perhaps that’s made the uplift more noticeable. I can now hear more induction roar and exhaust pop than road drone, which is great, and having fresh rubber on a reasonable sidewall has helped smooth out some of the worst imperfections encountered.
Also contributing to this enthusiasm is a nifty performance upgrade known as… a new clutch, flywheel and service. Not a cheap undertaking, for sure, at £1,650 - so it’s not being sold for a few miles yet! - but always likely to happen at some point during ownership if you have an old car for a few years. That’s how I’m justifying it for now. That and the vastly better feel of the car.
