General
Applicable to: '90 - '97 1.8 liter
Summer Tires
Very Favorable after 2000 miles.
These tires are a Miata Owner's dream: well-made, exceptional performance and relatively cheap, ((about $30-40 [each] less than comparable Toyo's). They replaced Michelin Pilot Exaultos which had serious balancing problems (65 mph shimmy). Normal balancing didn't produce the "shimmies" with the Generals. These are quiet, corner well and hold the road nicely in moderate rain. I would buy these again in a hearbeat.

P19560R14 Tires on my Mariner blue 92 Miata
These tires are for the 35 and up crowd who are afraid that their teeth will loose their fillings with some of the other "stiffer" tires on the market.... Also for those who shudder at the thought of every pothole methodically working your car into "rattle-dom". Hey, I'm all for performance, and on the track the other lower profile tires are great! But, let's be realistic here and realize that the majority of us drive our little cars everywhere on roads that Reagan's gas taxes haven't helped. These tires are quiet, reliable, and hold the road relatively well, even in tight corners. I have taken curves that have switched the location of my kidneys without any complaints from these tires. They are EXCEPTIONAL in the rain, too! Are they a compromise? Certainly. But at my age, they are a blessing, too! Even if I buy 15" rims next time, these tires will get my nod (If a 60 series will still fit).
