Just found out this tyre won't be road legal in the UK ... can't see them selling many over here unfortunately. Time to move to the US then!!

Whats the recommended power for a track Miata withe these on 9's or 10's? i.e. Are these too heavy for 130k mile NA engine with I/E/H? Or does the additional grip outweigh any weight increase coming from a Rival/Rs3?
For 245/40/15 that is... Thanks! |

15x10. For autocross, go for max width possible for a given tire compound, regardless of power. For track use, I think the car should have at least 220whp before 245's are considered.
Time trial or sprint would be completely different. We're looking at booking a private track day at Atlanta Motorsports Park in April. That track is hard on tires and is all about momentum. I would like to try 205 vs 245 VR-1 and 205 Star Specs (our current Enduro tire). It doesn't hurt that Maxxis' GA warehouse is a couple miles from the shop. :) |

I will leave you with this for the weekend. Flat roll front and rear, no pull clears fenders at full bump. Same inboard contact in front as 225/45 on 15x9's pretty much.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1458963205 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1458963205 NA would require aggressive pull or flare still or similar expectations to the 15x9? |
Yes, the tread is backwards. Tires mounted for pics. Be less picky.
I haz a sad that these pics are essentially what my car would be this year had my car not met a pit wall (Emerald Green Mica NB), but NB 2.0 shall forge ahead ! Those are the Tungsten wheels correct? Edit: from the badging I am assuming this is actually an '01 SE BRG car, and not an Emerald Mica car, with a TougeRun lip as I had on mine on the front. Still green, still looks good. |
