I purchased a 2026 Mini Cooper S Convertible in October of 2025. In the following 8 months I replaced 4 tires. Two due to blow-outs from potholes, a third went flat the morning after hitting a bump leaving a parking space due. The 4 incident was related to a bubble which formed on the sidewall of the tire. As the vehicle has no spar tire, three of the indicants required being towed to the dealership or the tire store. After nine months I replaced the vehicle. This vehicle is nether safe nor dependable.
