This is doing my nut in, my MK3 has has the BBR 200 kit fitted so a bit more powerful than standard and it's been lowered to speed bump scraping levels

Currently it's got Falken on the front and kormoran on the back, both on about 3.5mm

I'd decided on Michelin pilot super sports as costco have one of their offers on in a week but then I read good reviews on kumho, firestone and avon or the cheaper pilot sport 4

so am I wasting £200 putting super sports on a MX5 or is it the best decision I'll ever make when it comes to improving the handling of the car

If you can get all 4 corners done with those tyres for £200 I'd just go with that. r
it's about £320 for 4 kumho and £520 for 4 super sports costco £50 + vat off 4 tyres starts tomorrow so it'll be £460 ish for 4 super sports fitted and balanced so i'm going for that
