Bought these for my MINI. They even have MINI hubcaps on them (can be included or excluded) 

15" with Nokian Haka-notgunnatryspellingtherest-a's

All of them have different tread depths when I measured, but good enough for at least one season. 
 

$100

Anybody? Looking to pay some bills and get the right size snow tires for my car.

These tires are the bees knees in the snow. What's the width and aspect ratio? Certain sizes are fantastic for rallycross duty (though the future owner will want to pick up some cheap alloys for rallycross duties).

You wouldn't happen to have a tire machine  in that garage, would you?

The mini rims won't fit my Elantra, but the tires are the same size, so it would be a great way for me to replace a pair of the snows on mine. I've got one that sounds square, but rides smooth.

Would those wheels fit a 2009 Cooper S?

No tire machine, but possible access to one.
 

I don't know all the small minutiae of MINI yearly changes but as far as I've found so far the 15" wheels will not fit any of the S models.

Thanks for the info, I hadn't thought about the S impacting the fit. 

It's definitely a great deal, but I just don't know when I'd have time to get them.  I may just have to deal with my noisy ones for this season. 

It looks like my wife and I will be now be spending 10+ hours per week at rinks with the boys (in addition to drive time) since the oldest is skating with the varsity team this HS season.

So say I get the tires dismounted and can make a time to drive them up to the Central Mass area what are they worth to you? 
 

Instead of buying new tires for my MINI, I might just be buying back an Audi A4 I used to own. Basically same price...

I think the price is good, even if I only put two on my car, it's really time that is the issue, more than anything. 

The reason I was asking about the tire machine was mounting on my wheels and not the dismounting. To keep the best of each type (general and Nokian) paired by axle I'll need to remount one of mine to keep the direction correct.  As a result,  I'm concerned that they would end up sitting in my shed and never actually make it onto the car. 

I'll check back with you as we get closer to Christmas and I have a better idea of my schedule.

Thanks for the offer. 

It looks like I will have to ride out the winter with the ones I have. 

Over the holidays the Sedona started to develop an exhaust leak. It's either the y pipe or the muffler, so any free time (or money) I have will be used to fix that instead.

I'm sure if you post these here, somebody in the club will come get them out of your way (Connecticut Autocross & Rally Team): https://www.facebook.com/groups/1758599771132913/

Sadly I'm already sitting on brand new snows for my escort wagon, or I would be that guy.

Thanks for the heads up. Just put in a join request to the CART group. 
 

Gotta get some money to maintain my fleet.

Winter is going to be gone before I can sell these things for crying out loud. 

Craigslist, FB Marketplace, CART Group, GRM.
