Tires OEM BMW 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.
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.
From just some small spirited driving this weekend they feel softer than Continentals and like they are rolling under the rim.
I ran them on my ST. They handle like a 300tw tire. They became greasy on a really hot track day.
As others mentioned, run-flats are more suspectable to sidewall damage. They're also heavier and noisier. Also, you may have a wider selection of tires if you go with non-runflat.
I got the wheel and tire warranty when I bought my car. They’ve already replaced 4 run flats for free. I got 2 blowouts in the last 2 weeks hitting pretty average sized potholes that I’ve never had issues before with. Run flats suck.
