Looking for new tires. Drive my car 6-10k/year. Varies depending on what I do and what the weather is like.
Here's the options I know about. ADVAN A048 Toyo R888 Toyo RA1 Falken Ziex 912 Khumo Ecsta AST Maxxis MA Z4S My experience is these cars are pretty easy on tires unless you are running a real aggressive alignment. In the passed I've run Michelin SXGT. These lasted many summers. Hankook RS2 and Dunlop Direzza seemed to last just right, but I'd like a little more diameter in the rear for gearing. Dunlop and Hankook are now only making a 225/45/15. I'm tempted to run RA-1's and see what happens. They wear real well on Miata's running 24 hour races, but I'm not sure I'd get much more than one summer out of them. 3 summers would be fine for me. Any other ideas? Kelly |
