Westlake SW608s. The best!
I’ve never used them on a Miata, but I’ve gone through two sets on my Jetta GLI and another set on a big-turbo Audi A4. I think they’re fantastic for the price. Perfect balance of grip and longevity. They’re not the greatest in heavy rain or standing water but they’ll do the job if you take it easy. Obviously not something you’ll want to run in the snow although I did this year due to laziness (couldn’t make it up my driveway). I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another set.
I have some Westlake SA07 for 10k miles now and they're holding up pretty good. Really good tires for the price.
Went from Cooper Discoverer 17 inch to 20 inch Nitto 420S. It's day and night. I literally have a track truck now. The truck is already dropped so it handles like a little sport car now.
I personally run Westlakes SA07’s and will swear by them until the day I die
They're much quieter than the first round of tires I had on the car (Nitto NT421Q), and probably about as good as it gets in snow without going to actual snow tires.
nitto nt05. on my second set. best tire i’ve ever used for sure
My dad currently has Westlake tires on his truck and they're not noisy at all. They do have less grip however and you have to be careful on wet roads.
Westlake tires are becoming a "known" brand name. It still doesn't change the fact they are a low end Chinese tire. That said, they will wear out fast as with all other Chinese tires the tread compound is very soft (low treadware rating). They don't hug corners well, there not fantastic at shuttling water, they are horrible in adverse terrain/weather, & they can be difficult to balance.
I had the Nitto 420S on my Ram SRT-10. The tread virtually did not wear, but they had the worst wet traction I've ever experienced by the time they were 5 years old. They turned to rocks despite still having 90% tread. No rotting or cracks.
