Rain Tires

40 if you don't cord them... tire management is your friend.

I've got 52HC on mine, no issues here.

Ahh the pleasures of being lightweight. I'm sure mine will make it past 40 HC's but may need to flip them a second time if they don't cord somewhere first. They seem much better than the RA1's that required you to get some heat in the tire before it would start to grip.
Also, when I talked to Phil's they said the tire money was increased due to the complaints that the Spec Miata's get the same amount of prize money yet our tires are much more expensive so they upped the payout for our classes.

Marshall-next time I'm in the shop area I'll be glad to pick those up and take them off your hands.

Bryan,
Sounds good.

It looks like rain tires might pay off.
Friday - 80% rain
Saturday - 50% rain with morning storms
Sunday - 30% rain with isolated storms

Remember your anti-fog. Apply liberally and often. If you can't see, it doesn't matter how good your tires are.
This goes for Rain-X as well.
