Tires on your Miata ? what are YOU using?

[roy obanion]

185/60/14 star specs
195/60/14 RT615s on the old wheels

Dunlop Z1 Star Spec 185/60/14 on Sharka
Toyo T1R 195/55/14 on Bucky

Do you like the 185s on the 7 in star sharks? Being able to reuse the tires pushes me closer to buying 14x7 RPF1s..

195/60/R14 Falken Ziex612... cheaper than most performance tires, but sticks like glue in dry weather and not bad in wet. Only $69 a tire! Also much quieter than my old potenzas and yokohamas.

How do you like your Federals? I was thinking about getting them for autocross.

I recently got new tires. I got the Dunlop DZ101's. I was planning on getting the Star Spec's, but a friend of mine recently bought an Integra Type-R that had basically brand new DZ101's on them, so I bought those from him for $170 installed (he works at Discount Tire) so I figured it was a deal I couldn't pass up.

As far as the tires go, they do their job. I commute 55 miles one way to school and that is why I didn't get super high performance tires. They are better than the Kumho Ecsta AST's I had, but they still suck. haha They occasional let go on my without much of a warning.

I just bought a set of Direzza ZII's (These replaced the old Star Specs). I will be getting Them at the end of the month...

Recently purchased:

Falken Ziex 912 195/50/15

They have been able to keep the car straight in the rain so I refuse to complain.

I think the Federals are great value for money. In my opinion they are near the level of star specs AD08 etc. although they can get kind of greasy on hot days on a track, but for a UHP street tire they're awesome.

Thanks! So I guess not great for autocross in Florida... Glad I went with the ZII's

[Stealth97]

I just go to local meets, and steal whatever wheels/tires I can when no one is looking. Once they start to show metal, I put them on the wifes car.

195/45/15 Yokohama S Drive on the daily wheels (came with the wheels), will be changed in the summer
225/45/15 Toyo R888s on the track wheels.

Wish we had as much choice as you have in the states, I'm considering importing a few sets to get some better tyres in the summer!
