Nice report, Thanks

Is it too much of a stretch to assume most BMW Mini wheels will work?
I thought I replied to this the other day but maybe it didn't go through. Searching for wheels I found some options when I looked for Mini Cooper Clubman wheels. Maybe 2017 and newer? If I remember right these have the same bolt pattern and hub bore.
 
Very nice. Looks good. On my 2019S I recently installed S001 195s on front and 215s on rear. Love the ride and performance but noticed the price has gone up. $420 each.
If I switch to your set up any reason not to go with 225s on the rear.
 
The First sticking snow of this winter has arrived here in Maine, so I am putting on my 19" set of Blizacks 155/70R19 on each corner with their aftermarket Wheels.

Since they are all identical, they can be rotated normally to equalize the wear between the front and rear tyres.
See the photos of tread depth on all four corners at the current miles
The passenger side rear on the original tyres after 16,300 miles, just 2mm. Of course, both will be replaced in the spring.
I will keep the worn one as an extra in my barn in case of a non-repairable puncture.

I wonder if the extra wear on the right side is an object of concern.

And the driver's side is not quite as bad, showing a touch over 3.5 mm.
I have put 3,000 miles on the car since I bought it... I would see the wear on the front tyres to be expected for this millage when I was still driving my 2004 MINI Cooper S on the run-flat Dunlops it came with.
The front tyres are fine, but the passenger side is worn about 1mm more.
