Tires NITTO or BFGoodrich

I’ve never used them on a Miata, but I’ve gone through two sets on my Jetta GLI and another set on a big-turbo Audi A4. I think they’re fantastic for the price. Perfect balance of grip and longevity. They’re not the greatest in heavy rain or standing water but they’ll do the job if you take it easy. Obviously not something you’ll want to run in the snow although I did this year due to laziness (couldn’t make it up my driveway). I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another set.

Gona have to second the KO2 good in snow, mud, dirt, slick rock, quiet in pavement, look aggressive, priced well, and you can put a lot of miles on them.

Went from Cooper Discoverer 17 inch to 20 inch Nitto 420S. It's day and night. I literally have a track truck now. The truck is already dropped so it handles like a little sport car now.

I have the BFGoodrich's linked in this thread on the M3, and they are great. Decent grip, great wet weather pattern, and decent life. Would buy again.

I have these tires on my GTI, and love them - now on my second set. The first set lasted me over 45k miles. They got noisy at the end of their life, but they're great in wet weather, and all around grip is excellent.

Big fan of the BF Goodrich Comp-2 A/S, for all season ability with a sport twist. I’m impressed with their grip in the wet and dry. No clue on treadwear as I haven’t put on ton of miles on them, but they look good after 12,000 miles, and I do like running at a decent clip through the hills.

I've got nt01's on my mr2 and they're ok at lower speeds in rain.

Those tires are complete total dogshit. I will never, ever put them on my car again. About 2K miles of good tires, and about 20K of greaseball bullshit.
