Asking for tire advice for my stock '99 Miata

[bluebry]

I have a set of TRM C1 wheels (15x7) and would like to run sticky tires on them, but
don't know what to get, particularly what size would be best.

I would have asked around last weekend, but I thought I could stay in SSB if I bought
stronger 15x6 wheels. I couldn't find any. I might as well use the TRMs. I am resigned
to going back to ST3, even though I want to keep the car stock.

I used Bridgestone RE11s on the TRMs last year, and RE11s on stock wheels in SSB last
weekend. Tom (don't know last name) suggested Toyo RA1 or Nitto NT01, shaved 4/32. But I
didn't think to ask tire width, and would have to ask again now anyway.

Thanks for any help.

1. Thank you, Grippy.

2. Looks good from here, MiataSteve. Being a novice, I do have some questions.
a. Why are you selling them?
b. Is this like what I read in another thread:

You're better off buying a new set, using the good half of their life, then selling them for 1/2 price.

a. I stepped up to Hoosiers this year so I have an extra set. I was going to keep them as spares but I already have 3 sets of track tires.
b. As far as buying a new set...hard to argue with that logic, but if you find a good set, are not trying to set track records, and get them mounted at Fastrack....well it cam make for a good economical tire choice. I believe you would fit this description. I am asking below 1/2 price for tires that are much less that 1/2 worn.

Fastrack has a deal for track tire mounting and they are right down the street from me.

Works for me. I'll buy them at your asking $225. I'd like to make arrangements for picking them up. We can do details here or via direct email. I'm at barnetg@gmail.com.
