Mini Aceman tyres
The Mini Aceman leaves the factory on 205/55 R17 and 225/40 R19 and 225/45 R18 depending on wheel size, and the 205/55 R17 95H XL below is the one most owners are replacing. XL is not optional here; it is what the car was type approved on.

Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the on the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tyre.
What changes on this car
The 17 and 18 inch Aceman fitments are both 95 XL, 690 kg a corner, despite being different widths. The 19 inch drops to 93 but rises to a V rating.
MINI's own label list shows the M+S versions of the 18 inch rated V while the non-M+S tyres are H, so a like-for-like summer replacement only needs H.
No tyres listed against this fitment yet. Product specifications are published from each manufacturer's own data and that work is not finished for 205/55 R17. Match or exceed every figure in the table above and you cannot go far wrong.

Common questions
- What size tyres does the Mini Aceman take?
- It runs 205/55 R17 and 225/40 R19 and 225/45 R18. The exact fitment for your car is on On the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar.
- Can I fit a cheaper tyre to a Mini Aceman?
- Only at 205/55 R17 95H XL or better. That is the figure to hold: a tyre below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
