    Holy shit! $235 a tire for 205/15s... You can still get the Hoosier SM wets for around $170.

    If you can work with those 15 inch Miata tires, the Hoosier deal is great for not just Miatae.

    Yes, definitely go with the SM tire if you can fit it on the car and have the right weight..

    You can supposedly shave the Hoosier Wets and land-up with an Intermediate.

    Yup. Don't try to wear them down to intermediate depth though. By that time, they're heat cycled to death and hard as rocks.
