Contract For Supply Of BMW Mini Wheels And Tyres Goes To Pirelli
In the UK, Pirelli Tyres Ltd has been awarded the contract to supply all wheel and tyre assemblies for the new BMW Mini. The project includes conventional and run-flat tyres from 15″ to 17″. The tyres and wheels are assembled at the company’s Burton-on-Trent factory and transported to BMW’s renovated plant at Oxford. Pirelli says that it will develop its own run-flat tyre for the contract, rather than use other manufacturers’ products, although different brands of “conventional” tyres will be supplied.
