I'm a noob to the performance tire world but was wondering if "Hoosier 8.0/27.0-15. 4" would fit on my 15x9 wheels? And also was wondering if the f53 compound would make a good cheap set of autocross and occasional drag tires?

They will fit on the wheels but not under a Miata. 24.7" is about the max tire diameter you can get away with. Look for 9.5x23-15 if you're thinking of something like a hoosier slick.

I run 24x9.5x14 drag radials they are the same as 225/50/15. A 27" diameter tire is equivalent to 235/60/15 or 275/50/15

New Truck Tires help?
I run a 305/45r22 on my dually and have always used Pirelli Scorpion ATR and loved them, for whatever reason I cannot find these anymore. I am now considering a new brand of tire. What do people recommend in this size? I was thinking Goodyear Fortera SL would be the closest thing to the Pirellis but I was also thinking either Nitto Terra Grapplers or Hankook Dynapro ATM for a more aggressive all terrain look. Input? Suggestions? past experience? anything will help thanks.

Nitto Terra Grapplers are really good tires.
