The future of the miata is brighter than ever.
Emilio, we're all indebted to you. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...30a792227c.jpg |
Still waiting to hear any hard evidence on SP-legal fitment. And availability. ;-)
|
The 12's width to diameter ratio looks absolutely ridiculous.
|
Update from Hoosier. No ETA on tires but definitely not in time for Solo Nats. Tread is 11.5" and it will designated a 295/35.
275 is 10.1" tread for reference. We'll get one to mount as soon as it becomes available. |

Yes, absolutely. You have my word on it. Guaranteed. Flawless OEM Style fitment.
That is only what, exactly two times the width of the OEM wheel? Like a glove. forwarding to Tire Rack |
I Should have some of this new sized purple crack shipped next week they say.

Must be a beta tester. My contact at Hoosier said they didn't have a production date as of last Tuesday.

Will the 15x12 fit under stock NA fender without rubbing?

So the market will be flooded with 15x10s soon? Or did the 15x10 guys already upgrade to 15x11 last year?
What I'm waiting for is 275 width RS-4s. |

I'm not sure the 295 is worth making he car wider than most other things in the class and adding 200 lbs.

So i wrote hoosier an email yesterday about the tires.
My question: "Hi, I'm would like to know the status of the 295/35-15 Hoosier A7. I know its in development and was wondering when it will be available to purchase. Thanks," this is what I got back: "Thanks for writing and good question. This Tire Size / Project is on hold at the moment. Management is discussion the future of this tire size. I am unsure of its future at the moment. Feel free to write back next month for an update." Doesn't give me a great feeling but whatever I guess. I plan to run these on a CSP car. |
Update I got today. They are not happy with the just add a spacer to the existing mold approach. Apparently the profile ends up dipping in the middle too much or something. They are apparently going to spring for a new tool to get the profile right at a much greater expense. ETA is moved out. I would assume 6 weeks for tooling then prototype testing and measurement probably a few more weeks I think.

15x12 6UL wouldn't be here in time either. Doubt many could get custom wheels in time and get the car dialed back in before Solo Nats even if the tires were here.

So, if they end up cancelling, what is that going to do for 949 planning to produce the new 15x12's? |
