    I have Star Specs and Yoke AD08's. Both are really good and both are good in the rain.

    Phat - you mentioned you plan to autocross the car. Are you limited to a street tire by the class?

    I also need new tires, and I race in the RTR class. For next year the R1R is illegal, however there are a lot of new tires coming out in early 2013. There have been tests showing the Star Spec 2 to be 1-2 seconds faster on a 60 second course (compared the the current Z1). I've also seen that every year in March, Dunlop offers a $100 off promotion if you buy 4 tires.

    I'll be looking at 185/60/14 Star Spec 2s myself!

    Yuuuuuuum:

    2012: Purchased Miata, Laid off 3 days later. 4th place overall (default!), NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2013: Budget RTR build, massive increase in participation, 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2014: Suspension and more active competition in STS. 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA
    2015: Time for some "form" and vintage styling (while still racing NWOR, of course).

    I got the AD 08's from Discount Tire and I'm running 205 50 15 on a 7.5 inch rim. I took them out today in the rain and mid 40's temp and they still stuck to the road like glue.

    I have been running 205s on my 93LE for years and have been pleased with the handling and the look.
    I have Smashed cones, and tracked, as well as daily driven.
    I have run RE-01, RE-11 and T1Rs I'm looking to replace soon.
    I even run 205s on the LE my wife drives.
