So, the Miata needs new tires. I'm broke and trying to figure out the cheapest way to do this. I have a second set that I'm keeping in reserve to put DOT-R's on, when I have the money again. Right now, I just want tires to commute and cruise in since the Miata uses half the gas my van does.
I have a set of 15x6.5 Rotas for my street tires. My most likely options are:
Sell the wheels for $250-$200 on CL, buy another set of similar wheels with tires in decent condition for $300.
Trade them to a local buddy with a Miata who has a set of 14" wheels (not stock, but decent alloy) with some mediocre all season tires on them.
Same buddy also has a set of 225/15's for a Miata that I could have for super cheap, and that could probably be made to fit onto my 15x6.5's, or maybe just put them on my 15x7's that I'd been saving for DOT-R's later.
My dad has a set of ricer 17's that came on the Miata he purchased recently. I could make use of them as much as I want in exchange for helping him fix up his Miata (which I planned to do anyway). I suspect they will ride like crap.
