Question:
Are these tires DOT or just for racing? I used to run the A048 in my exige and those were 60 treadwear but I am not familiar with the A048R.
Answer:

ADVAN A048 radials meet DOT requirements, however, they are not recommended for driving in wet conditions where standing water is present and there is the risk of hydroplaning; drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds if they encounter these conditions. They are developed using high-performance compounds which become brittle at low temperatures and therefore should not be used in certain conditions. 

I would consider these a track tire - the DOT approval is really just for classes that require DOT-approved tires.

Hi,
Probably not, they will fit the 5 or 6 inch wheels.

What Tire Fits a Classic Mini?
Created: December 12, 2013
This is definitely a topic that keeps coming up! What wheel and tire combinations can be made to fit a Classic Mini? Just a few days ago, had a customer call for “175/55-10” as though they could just be picked off the rack! Hmmm, I’ve never seen such a size, except maybe on a Yamaha Banshee Quad for doing burnouts! I thought it would be a good time to update what combinations are currently available, and a little bit about fitting them to most Minis. It’s been pointed out by me and others, that all the common combinations end up having about the same overall rolling diameter.
