Hi. Can anyone tell me what make tyres come as standard on the new JCW F56 with 17" wheels?

MINI usually use more than one brand of tyres so not easy to say for sure what you will get.

Have you gone for run flat or standard tyres?

Congrats on getting a JCW.

Brand of choice at the moment is Pirelli... This could change this week/next week/sometime/never..

Thanks. I have opted for standard a snot a fan of the run flats. Expecting a phonecall any day now for collection. Just a tad excited!

I would not worry too much. Rip off the run flats as soon as you get the car and store them until you come to sell the car. Put non run flats onfor best performance and better tire selection. Being JCW you really should consider dedicated performance summer only tires - Continental Contact are excellent and run smoothly. Of course that means dedicated performance winter tires too but if you go JCW it makes sense to have an optimized connection to the road.

Rims are more important. If you plan to give the car a good run and sporty drive on regular roads then get 17" rims and you will replace bent rims less often. If you plan to use it on a race track on weekends and drive carefully when on regular roads then the 18" larger rims make sense.
