What tyres for $600?

[yammo323]

Hey Guys, thanks for you input.

I think I'm going to fit G3's. Reason is because I was told Trampio's were fairly old, and there would be a chance that I'd get some old stale (Pre 02) stock? Also I find the G3 Tread is slightly more sexy than the C-drives. javascript:emoticon('8)')
Cool

I'd also be curious to try the RT615's but I think they'll be priced outside my budget. I was told from a friend that they were $250 / corner?

bumping old thread to ask a question about the yokohama c-drives.

i have just bought a set of standard 15 x 6 nb8a rims for my na6.

the c drives come in 6 different sizes to fit these rims. 3 of them are 185 width, the other 3 are 195 width. then they each have a different profile ranging from 50 thru to 65.

can anyone tell me which is the best set to get for the mx5? this is mainly for road driving, with a fair bit of twisty stuff on the weekends.

i'm guessing there must be one which is more suited than the others for our cars.

185/55R15 82V 185 55 15 5 - 6.5 585
185/60R15 88H 185 60 15 5 - 6.5 606
185/65R15 88H 185 65 15 5 - 6.5 621
195/50R15 82V 195 50 15 5.5 - 7 578
195/55R15 89V 195 55 15 5 - 7 595
195/60R15 88V 195 60 15 5.5 - 7 614

For an NA6 you want 195/50/15. This is a poofteenth different to stock.
