Yep...but I may go w/215....not sure yet...215 has a little more rubber though.

 

you know whats wierd.. Jeg "ZR" , my place says "WR" ... oh, yah,, and talk about thread jacking...

 

I just had some Toyo proxes 4s mounted on my 15" stockies yesterday, and so far they rock. A rabbit ran in front on me last night, so I got on the brake a little hard and the car stopped so fast I just about ate the steering wheel. I don't think I've ever had tires with this much grip. Got 205/55/15s mounted for $390.

 

got my 17"s for $400 mounted - good deal

 

I'm running Toyo Proxes T-1S in 15s on the Miata that I purchased for ~$60 per tire. These are the same tires I'm running on my 17s for the P5. I have Proxes FZ-4s on the P5's 16" stock wheels. I think the T-1S is the best tire out there if you are going to do track days in the rain They are grippy as heck in the dry too!! I was getting my supplies from www.onlinetires.com

 

is it ok to go with 205's in the front and 215 in the rear?
not advisable?

 

I usually buy kumhos, which I have always loved, but this past time, I bought pirelli p zero nero and have to say i love those too. They were only a little bit more than my kumhos. I usually just go with 205, but eventually I want to upgrade to 215s

 

can you go 215s on the stock steel rim?

 

i know mp3's can take up to 215, mazdaspeed proteges can go up to 225 i believe, not sure about the other mazdas.

 

I am pretty sure nothing wider than 205 is recommended for the stockers.

 

I can get the Kumho ECSTA ASX installed for just about $400, including lifetime tire rotations from the Mazda dealer. Tire rack sells them for $67 ea. and shipping would bring the total to about $300. Taking them to a local place for installation adds another $44. I figure the extra $56 I'd pay to have my dealer install them covers the tire rotations for the next 3 or 4 years and disposal costs. What do you guys think. (Sorry to revive this older thread)
