I recall a few months ago they slashed prices on the V710s. Then prices moved back to normal around $187 or so. I just checked, prices are back to $122/tire. Pretty damn good!! I just ordered a set. I was going to order Tech R-As, but i can certainly justify $3 more a tire for 710s.

I corded a tire last autox, i managed to squeeze 6 autoxs times two drivers out of a set of used Hoosier A6s i got off ebay for $250. Now its time for my first brand new set of R compounds. Can't wait!!

Jump on this deal now! I checked the other sizes, 205/50/15 is the only size that is deeply reduced.. weird

Lots of older hondas, and other smaller AX cars use 205's too. Dont think we will see the size go out of style anytime soon.

Yaris and Vitz cup cars use 205/50/15 too thats been a very popular series in Europe and Japan.

My experience with Spec Miatas tells me drivers have a wide variety of expereince, from people who are outstanding drivers who can keep their cars on edge all day without a spin to guys who just dont belong on the track.

I have seen GT3's, Areil Atoms, M3's, Lotus Elises and even 914's spin as much as spec Miatas. With all the carnage I have seen with GT3's lately I suspect they are scarier than many spec miata drivers. There are just fewer of them!
