ROR. 3 pages of thread and we suggest the same tire you're running.

It's a good one though.

I had the s-drives and the wet grip was great and they lasted pretty long but they definitely left you wanting more in the dry grip department.

i was impressed with the wet grip, they are about bald and still no hydroplane. but the dry grip at autocross left alot to be desired. i dont know if is because they had a good bit of mileage, or i think they were an older tire.

no. the 912 supersedes it. but you can still buy 4 205/50/15 at vulcantire.com.

considering there's no price difference, I'd rather the 912s.

those look exactly like the Khumo ASTs I had, worst tire I've ever run.

Of course the 912s weren't the greatest autox tire; they are H speed rated all seasons.

If I were doing it again (and I did recently, both on my DD and the miata), I'd pick something cheaper like the Faulkens or Nitto Neo Gens.

what are the nittos like in the wet conditions?
