Tire Rack Suggestions
For a Miata M1 185/60-14 stock alloy wheel.
Bridgestone Potenza RE950 Yokohama AVS ES100 Sumitomo HTR 200 Yokohama Avid H4S I currently have the Bridgestone predecessor to the Bridgestone Potenza RE950 and love them. I would instantly try these but want some feedback before getting them. |

The ES100 is stickier, but isn't an all-season. The Avid is a good cheap all-season for sedans, but will rob a Miata of its performance potential. I don't know anything about the HTR 200. BTW, don't disqualify tires that are only available in 195/55-14 instead of 185/60-14. --- Lanny Chambers '94C, St. Louis http://www.hummingbirds.net/alignment.html |

We put RE950s on our '90.....let's see [shuffle, shuffle...] 31,000 miles and over 3-1/2 years ago. They handle pretty good in a all-season tire sort of way and with as much tread as we've still got left, I'd have to say they have great wear characteristics. I'd buy them again for this commuter Miata. -- Ken Lyons '97 Brilliant Black/'90 Classic Red Inside the Beltway [Remove the first two digits to reply] |

I have the Yoko ES100's with about 10000 miles on them. The are sticky
and handle great but have become very noisy of late. I would not buy them again for that reason. They are wearing evenly with Lanny's alignment specs but the road noise is driving me crazy. |
