wet grip good. 1st 3 weeks using them was full of qld storms and floods.

used about 0.3mm for 1300km for street driving with weekly spirited mountain runs.. so i'll get 20-25,000km out of them.

My set are on

At first driving it out of the tyre shop

Steering was just shocking light :shock:

And tyres weren't gripping as good as I thought

but after a few ks the coating i assume started to wear off and its sticky

What PSI are you guys running?

The tyre shop put 36 front and 34 rear

i pumped them up to 38

38 psi is track pressure Tien, ok on nice smooth bitumen, but they'll probably shake your back teeth out on suburban roads, I'd advise 34 - 36 all 'round for street.........don't run different pressures f & r, in a well balanced car like the MX-5, it'll only upset things

YEEEE-HA!

These tyres are AWESOME on the track.

zero squealing, plenty of bite.

Very communicative when the rear-end lets go, and all you do to adjust your line is simply push and release the loud-pedal :twisted:

The outside shoulder-block showed minimal sign of wear at 38psi cold/42psi hot.

I managed to cut more than 2 seconds off my time without seeming to try much harder than usual.

I will definitely get these again.

Oh.... one thing about these tyres though.... they are HEAVY!
Hopefully this means high-quality rubber and strong innards.
