Tire opinions for STS 92 Miata?
I've got a STS prepped 92 miata with timed out RE-71Rs. Anyone have opinions about the current go-to 15" tire?
Thanks,
Steve

Re: Tire opinions for STS 92 Miata?
Hey Steve,
Hope to see you back out here...
Based upon this years National results, all STS cars were shod with either BFGoodrich GForce Rival's or Bridgestone RE71R's.
195/50/15 was the "chosen size" for many years due to lower unsprung weight, plus the cheater compound on the Toyo's....but more and more are moving to 205/50/15's. (Rival's aren't avail in the smaller size, which plays into that too.)
I'm personally still running the RE71's, as are Pete & Gary (our other local STS Miata drivers)... but who knows what next year will bring. I haven't really though about it yet.
