I don't drive the Miata in the rain much, but the couple times I have, the grip has been excellent. The only time I've unintentionally broke traction on these tires is when I was going downhill into a decreasing radius turn and hit a patch of gravel.
Overall, I really like the new wheel and tires, but I wouldn't say it's all upside either. The Michelins are just that much quieter and more comfortable (Granted the previous tires were nearing the end of their life, but they were always loud). I listen to the stereo 5-6 clicks lower than I used to as well. The grip is also far higher, and putting my right foot down mid corner no longer induces instant oversteer and spinning tires. It just hooks up and goes. It's still fun, but it definitely has changed the character of the car a fair bit. It's much more serious, and while I enjoy the added grip, there's certainly something to be said for what has been lost. On the bright side, when winter hits I'll get to have some more low(er) traction fun when I put the stock wheels back on.
I ran Supercorsa SP's on my track bike that I also sometimes took on the road. They had plenty of grip for my quick intermediate pace. They don't last long though
I'm running Rosso 4 Corsa's on my S1000RR, in the fast group. I've had no issues what-so-ever running them and they have a deeper profile compared to sp v3's, which also improves its tire life.
The Pirelli’s I’ve only have the Diablo Rosso 2s but they make amazing tires the Rosso2 was amazing on the Diavel more grip than the Michelins but I was lucky to get 5k miles out of them.
I will die on this hill saying these are the single best tires I've ever used that are still "DOT" tires. Loads of grip for street riding, warm up in one lap, super predictable on track and the level of grip these offer just bar none has any right having a dot stamp. The corner drive I can get on them on a 1k is mental for what they are.
Michelin CrossClimate 2’s are quite amazing. I highly recommend them.
Michelin defender best right longest lasting best mpg hands down I mount and balance tons of these tires it’s all I got on both my Prius
I have a 1997 Town & Country with its original Michelin spare on a full size steelie and I thought this was already old enough.
Pirelli need to face consequences for their reckless misjudgment of tyres here. Both Stroll and Max were put in incredibly dangerous situations due to their negligence.
