You may be referring to the tyres that I have for sale
As a tyre, I actually rate them quite highly. With a tread-wear rating of 280 & traction AA (Temp A if it really matters) they are what I consider to be a sporty street tyre - Perfect for MX5's.
I have many friends that have EVO's & use / have used these tyres for daily driving. These cars higher power than most MX5's on the road, so you know they can hold their own.
I would have no compunction in buying these for my 17's when the time comes.
