Are we talking about the same boxes. I'm talking about the action packers. I've read some really good things about them. And all my 4x4 friends strap them to the back of their trucks.
It doesn't need to be thief proof. Just tamper proof. It will be carrying all the light camping gear. Tools will go in the trunk.

Then again, "action packer"? I guess that really does go with Miata...

Tires. I think I've narrowed it down to star spec z2s.
Reasoning.
Rival s wear too fast/don't last on the track
Same with re71s
Federal 595s are not easy to get
Can't find 205 normal rivals anymore.
Leaves me with star specs right?

I don't have the most finely calibrated senses, but I do love my Federals currently. Next I plan to try the 225/45 Kumho V710's I think, just because I am not ready to go back to RS3's.
I have heard people say the Federals can get greasy, but if I experienced it I was too fatigued to be able to tell. Had no issues at Miatas at MRLS last year though. Would happily buy another set if they did them in 225s.

You'll learn more easily on a simple 205 like the star spec. We have dozens of track miatas come through the shop, you know this. Don't think we've ever suggested federal. Star specs on the other hand, wonderful tire.

I'm going 205 that's a given. I'm waiting to hear about a work bonus then tires. I like that star specs are available all the time. No other tire is.
