Looks like there are <2 in the system there now with no ETA.. but I like your 225/45 option, puts quite a bit more tread to the road. 225/45 is 8.0" tread, vs. 7.2" wide for a 205/50 in the same tire.
As I recall it, my 97 had 225/50/15's on the rear, which would be ~9" wide for the T1-S at the time (9.2" wide in the RS-2)... I think it may have rubbed when getting crazy, but not significantly. Anyone have rubbing issues on the 225/45/15? It's shows as 0.5" wider section width (http://www.hankooktireusa.com/product/Z212.pdf) over the 205/50.

That's great news! You're right, it's the first time there's been an ETA on the website in a year. So maybe the 205/50-15 MX will rise from the ashes and become a valid option again. Although I'd probably still go with a 225/45-15 Hankook :) Keith Tanner Flyin' Miata [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.flyinmiata.com 1-800-FLY-MX5s (orders) 1-970-464-5600 (tech) 2008 FM Open House: August 14-17 From: Larry Alster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 11:15 AM To: Keith Tanner; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE: Need to re-tire, Sumitomo HTR Z?

While the 205/50-15 MX has existed in the past, it's become a thing of fiction. It's been on backorder in the US for approximately a year now. I consider that to be unobtainable.
