With 16K miles on them the treads are still beefy. They handle great, do really well in the rain, and seemed to take the edge off the harsh highway ride. 100% recommend them.
In my experience shopping for a miata, generally there isn't a huge difference in value between all-stock and "OEM+" cars that have minor tasteful mods from reputable companies. Koni and billstein shocks are pretty common and may even help resale a little bit. Repairing worn-out parts with slightly better aftermarket replacements doesn't hurt either. Any car with new bushings (provided they are rubber and not poly) will probably be preferred to one with the original, whether they're OEM or the slightly stiffer IL Motorsports ones that are common. Ditto for things like bump stops, shock mounts, et cetera.
I've recently started using Motul 7100 10w40. Actually I'm due for my first change and should get under it today. It's the only pull I've ever used that actually made a noticable difference in operation. The esters bond and quiet the motor to a noticable audible level. It's designed for motorcycles though and with the unique properties of this ester based oil, I'm taking a chance with carbon build up, but the protection at higher rpms it provides gives me confidence under those conditions, which is where carbon is best loosened at too. Supposedly this burns fairly clean for a synthetic, but IDK. I'm changing at 3k miles to see how it looks. May or may not extend it out, but has felt great so far in this 135k mile motor.
I put Michelin Cross Climate 2s on my mine and they seem to be doing well.
Used to daily an NA Miata for years (based in PNW.) Had snow tires (hakkas) during winter and never had a problem.
I run 10w60 liquimoly gt1 full synthetic. Engine build 2019 till now no issues regular oil changes
em troca do óleo eu sempre usei 5w30 da Castrol, ate agora com 227.000kms com o mesmo motor só misturei 2 oub3 vezes no deposito da gasolina. Sempre foi o meu carro e nunca me deixou na estrada
I just did my rear brakes! I forgot to plug one of the caliper motors back in. And tried to take it out of maintenance mode, it freaked out. But luckily it was fine after I reconnected the caliper.
I had to have mine replaced less than 2 months after purchase in June 2023. A small rock got thrown up and put a big bullet hole in the glass.
My windshield cracked
