i might be in the minority, but IMHO the AP1 rims limit you to OEM S02s
Your definitely in the minority. I'm running a combo right now of Falken RT-615 and Bridgestone RE-01's on my AP1 rims.

here's a good site for tire sizes...

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

245/45-16 R and 225/50-16 F is a good combo. Toyo T1Rs come in both sizes also hankook RS2s

umm 245/50 is wider to my knowledge but 50 being the profile wouldn't it be the same as the stock 225/50?

hey vu with that combo you'd have to be running the re01s in the front huh?

No, the 50 is actually a percentage of the treadwidth. Read this to learn about tire sizes and labelling conventions.

So 225/50-16 is the same overall diameter as 245/45-16.

Vu actually has 225s all around, I believe. He also had RS-2s, I believe. They wear ok, I had them on my e30. I'd say they wear as quickly as other higher performance tires like Azenis or RE-01Rs.

ahhh gotcha thanks.

i've never ran azenis or re01s so can someone tell me how these tires are to my toyo t1s or stock s02s? at least as far as how long they'll last
