Hard Top OFF!

Took the hard top off early this week. Drove top-down three times.
Then the BIG rains hit. Hopefully next week will be better.

I am presently enjoying the 2 weeks or so of Spring that I see each
year, and the Miata is still down...........

So, it could be worse! :-)

Still need tires, and the top needs to be removed at least. Not sure if
I am putting the new top on or not.

If I keep this thing it will only be driven on nice days. The boring old
Accord is available for cold and/or rainy days.

Tires for the 16X7's are not cheap at all and I haven't had any extra
money for a long time. That could/should change very soon.

Working on it..........................This Honda is
borrrriiiiiiinnnnnnngggggggg.

Don't forget there are some very good cheap tires out there. Have you made a
selection yet?

Which ones are you talking about? No selection yet.

The ones I am looking at, some top of the line Michelin, the name is not
coming to mind, are about $150.00 each.

Thanks,

Pat

Sorry to Tim if we've hijacked his thread (will anyone notice?)
What size 'shoes' does your turbo wear, depending which wheels you hang
onto, I guess?

I am good at hijacking threads......

The wheels are 16X7's, I am keeping the SSR's if I keep the car. I can
either go with the size you have or go with 215's.

The current tires are 215/40/1, and I was thinking about taking the
profile to 45 with either 205's or 215's..

40 series VS 45 series is a bit of an issue in 205 (and maybe 215) widths.
Some mfr's make one but not the other and such.

Don't forget to consider my Yokohama Prada Spec2's ! I highly recommend them
but I don't remember the cost off the top of my head. I am a cheap bas_ard
so, they can't be too high dollar. They are holding up splendidly and
they've been on for street and track use.

I don't see the Prada Spec2's in this size at Tire Rack, I need to keep
looking. They have the hated Sumitomo's for that beckoning price of
$55.00 each.

Man I hate the Sumitomo HTR's. I can't recommend against them enough.

The tires I have been looking at are the Michelin Pilots, at $138.00
each. They are pretty...........If the Prada Spec2's are at least $30.00
cheaper per tire, however, I will probably go with them.

Looks like I need to squeeze $650.00-ish together soon for tires and an
alignment, then re-insure the thing. Maybe then I can clean it up and
drive it to Houston.
