Tires NITTO or KENDA
Don't know what they make in Miata sizes, but kenda for me. Counterintuitive because they've relatively expensive, but I generally get 2x the tire life I was getting from ironmans, which more than makes up for the difference in cost.
When I bought my Jeep it came with 37’s on it and I didn’t want to downsize so I ended up with Kenda klever RT for 1300 for all 4 which is cheaper then the Mickey Thompson a I run now ???? but they performed pretty damn well through the winter very predictable tire when breaking free. Ran them for close to 50,000 miles
Kenda Klever. I have personally used the AT2s and RTs and they are both great
I have Kenda Kevlar on mine. They are great both on and off road.
Used Kenda KM-1 tires. 100% highway/street commuting miles. I got 25,000 miles usage on the rear tire! I highly recommend this tire.
Nitto (Toyo sister company) makes the Recon Grappler in some large SL rated sizes and they remain light at 40-50#s.
If you go with the cheaper of the two options, get the Kenda Kozmik's. They're similar to the Michelin City Grips and have the same dual compound tread. I've never had any problems with them and they've lasted well over 6000 miles, they hold the road in wet weather and do okay in light snow.
I use them. Good in the rain. But need to get hot on the track for full grip.
I've had them on my Tacoma for about 20-25k miles and they've gotten really bad on wet pavement lately. 90% of my driving is on pavement and these things are becoming a liability after it rains.
Avoid the nitto grapplers. They’re horrible on wet pavement especially when it begins to drizzle.
