"cheap" performance tires
Hey i have these wheels, they're stockers but i don't think they're stock for my year..
What tires would you suggest for best grip and long lasting... while still being on the cheaper end. I currently have Yokohama's

A friend of mine drives a wrx with Fuzion ZRI tires on the stock rims and they offer a damn good ammount of grip considering the cost and how long they last. The downfall of these tires are the soft sidewalls which I assume are partly the reason for the good grip, at a sacrifice of turn-in response. His sidewalls are notably marred after putting them through several auto-x events, though he was somehow able to hang with guys who should have been much faster than him.

Well when you are looking at tires for the best grip and long lasting... while still being on the cheaper end. there are going to be some tradeoffs. I still think the zri's are a decent choice for a daily driven performance tire

I'm no help w/tires... been on Proxes forever and love'em.
BTW, those wheels are not OEM Miata. They're also probably heavier than ****. Performance-wise, you'd probably be better off going back to some OEM 14's. If you can afford it, there's nothing cheaper for the weight than 15" Konig Heliums with whatever tire you decide.
