Mini Countryman Electric tires
The Mini Countryman Electric leaves the factory on 205/65 R17 and 225/55 R18 and 245/40 R20 and 245/45 R19 depending on wheel size, and the 205/65 R17 100Y 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 tire.
What changes on this car
Every summer fitment on the Countryman E and SE ALL4 is Y-rated and extra-load, from a narrow 205/65 R17 up to 245/40 R20. The M+S versions MINI lists are H-rated, so the tires approved for this car carry different speed letters depending on type.
MINI also approves a High Load (HL) 195/55 R19 97H as an M+S option, a rare HL fitment on a compact car. At 102 the 18 and 19 inch tires each carry 850 kg; the Countryman shares its platform with the BMW iX1.
Which one to buy
How these were chosen. Everything here already clears this vehicle's own load index, speed rating and construction class. Each heading is a question about use rather than a ranking. The whole method.
If range is what you care about
Graded A for rolling resistance, the best of anything here, and that is the figure that shows on the range display. Graded B for wet grip. EPREL registration 2584460.

Common questions
- What size tires does the Mini Countryman Electric take?
- It runs 205/65 R17 and 225/55 R18 and 245/40 R20 and 245/45 R19. The exact fitment for your car is on On the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar.
- Can I fit a cheaper tire to a Mini Countryman Electric?
- Only at 205/65 R17 100Y XL or better. That is the figure to hold: a tire below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
