I have zero interest in having any one of the four tires break free on dry pavement. I want grip grip grip. I want to throw it confidently into corners at speeds that look insane to a commuter car. I'm used to doubling or tripling the yellow recommended curve speeds, and WILL NOT give that up.


Brakes are for, red lights, stop signs, and parking lots.

Not corners.

Id stick to 17s with stock profile and 235 on the rears as an absolute max. Compound is more important than width.

It's an interesting endless debate in the Miata world. The OEM susension is fun to slide around for some people, but adding grip and making it faster is at a loss of this, and some people don't like this. It is pretty much 'pick your favorite and follow it'.
