That 63 degree day yesterday got me thinking I need to order up a set of tires and get them mounted to my summer rims. I’m looking for a pure summer tire since I have snows and don’t want to spend too much since I’ve had trouble with burning them up in 5k miles or less.
From what I’ve been reading I think the Ecsta SPT is probably my best bet but wondered if anyone on here had experience with them.
Probably do a couple autocrosses and at least one track day but I’m not looking for every possible second in either case, just out there having fun.
I have them right now on my S. They stick nicely for me and Ive had them for about 4-5000 miles and they still look really good on tread. I’ve taken them out into the mountains out here about 4-5 times too.
I had Advan Neova’s before the Ecsta SPTs and I don’t really notice a difference between them at all. The Neova’s were slightly stickier but they are about $150 more per tire.
Not when the setting they need to adjust is non-adjustable in stock form. It’s a new car, dealer has done all they can do twice, basically nothing. All the speed6’s do this. These spt’s I’m running, I actually got paid for by Towne Mazda, and M&B and nirtogen for free. The cars need more negative camber in the front, along with some better alignment specs.
I’d have to get the adjustable ball joints, then get them installed, then get the car re-aligned. ~ $500.
jay don’t you autocross? why would you buy a tire like this with the intent to race on them?
just curious - if you have a set of wheels for autocross then obviously this doesn’t matter. These just seem way hard to race on with any serious hopes?
