    +1. I'm stuck between the RS2's and another set of Azenis (price point is important).

    I have RS2's on both Miatas now, and I have a few sets of Azenis already.

    Would like to try something else but still haven't found the gotta have tire yet........

    Well, those are pretty much the best choices for max performance. Everything else is going to be in a different class.

    Personally I hate Goodyear and Dunlop tires, except for their slicks. I may be trying out the Falken 912 next...already had every other tire they make! Out of all the many, many tires I've burned through the BFG gforce sport was one of the best. Great performance and they lasted the longest through my hell on wheels driving!

    POS, do you know if BAM is able to match Tire Rack ? I hate to put him on a spot with his GM at the new store.

    I've never got tires from BAM (yet). Once I get my mind made up I'll let you know who won on pricing.

    Sammm, trying to follow the posts between you and P O S Racing is like watching a ping pong match. I love it . It always makes me grin.

    With as much autocrossing as you do, you'd better budget for more than one set...
