Tires are fine Ray! Especially if they cost $1,200 a set. We have to have at least 1.6mm 1/16" of tread depth across the full width of the tire.
I get all my tyres from a local friendly car breaker at between £5 and £10 a time, inflated, on wheels. Find the prospect of $1,200 a set hard to grasp.
£600 + VAT for my old Cooper. Mazda I got a set of Avon ZV-3 locally for £280 including fitting. They're a pretty good tyre wet & dry. Tried to get BF Goodrich but for some unknown stupid reason no one round here seems to stock them.
I used to get part worn at about £10-£20 a tyre when I first got married, but there's no way I could trust anything like that on the MX 5, now and then in the summer I might touch 130 on the motorway, cheap tyres aren't worth the risk for me.
