Driving takes on a different dynamic when temperatures drop to 7ºC and below. Icy roads, freezing mist, sleety rain – you name it. MINI Winter Wheels and Tyres are here to give you extra reassurance with more grip.

They’ve been specially designed to counter the tyre hardening and reduced grip caused by lower temperatures. In fact, they can reduce braking distances on icy roads by up to half, and by up to 10% on wet surfaces. As well as being safer, they wear less than standard tyres in low temperatures too.

THE PROBLEMS START AT 7°C.

With average Brrrritish winter temperatures dipping below 7°C, you need to get your skates on now and switch to MINI winter tyres with more natural rubber in their compound to give extra grip at those lower temperatures.

help maintain a healthy engine.

Special offer £23.40

There are a number of very good reasons reasons to choose MINI Service. One of them: the fact that Genuine MINI Parts are used at all times. Because nothing is more important than having “The Original”. Even when it comes to engine oil.

MINI engines unleash a driving dynamic like no other manufacturer. Innovative high-performance engines require premium oils that keep up with rapid development. In cooperation with Shell, Original MINI Engine Oils were developed based on the unique Shell PurePlus Technology.

Engine oil quality depends largely on its main components: the base oils. They make up approximately 75-90% of an engine oil. Original MINI Engine Oils are based on the new patented Shell PurePlus Technology, which makes base oils from natural gas instead of crude oil. The result: crystal clear base oils that contain virtually none of the impurities found in crude oil. Shell PurePlus Technology marks a breakthrough in how engine oils are formulated to provide enhanced viscosity, reduced friction and lower volatility.
