What Mini approves
MINI uses BMW's star marking, since MINI is a BMW brand.
A starred tire is approved for that MINI. Run-flats are common from the factory on MINI, so check whether the tire you are replacing says RSC or ZP before you order a standard one.
Brands that carry the approval
Written on the sidewall as: Pirelli Cinturato P7 (★).
Every US car built since 2003 carries this placard. It also gives the pressures, which the sidewall does not: the number molded into the tire is the maximum it can hold, not what your car wants.
