It’s time for new tyres. I have been running Enkei RPF1 17×7.5 with 215/45R17 tyres for about 4 years. I need more grip to make best use of the torque and power the car is now producing and to also be competitive in the racing class I am now running in. No point doing things by halves so ordered a set of Konig Hypergram 17×10 and 255/40R17 Yokohama A052 tyres (have heard good things about these tyres). This is as big as you can go on a NC MX-5 without running fender flares but the fenders did need quite a bit of massaging to eliminate rubbing.
I have also ordered a light weight hardtop from David at Lightyear composite in Melbourne Australia. This is approx. 30 kg weight saving over the power retractable hardtop and will improve aero. Hardtop was painted with 2 pack satin black.
