215/45 17 - Continental UC6
Treadwear: 300/A/A

Tyre came with the car, overall is very positive experience for myself.

I never tried Continental to be honest.

From what I can recalled, the tyres I have tried over the past 5 years - Bridgestone Potenza (got bonus),Achilles ATR 1 and Kumho Esta PS31 - these usually have stiff sidewall and huge groove for water dispersion, and from the look of it UC6 doesn't have really deep grooves for water dispersion. But surprisingly, it went with the job admirably, performing well in dry and wet.

The tyres itself is silent and comfortable, and throughout 5 years, I never experience my ride this quiet before. Maybe I am getting old already, my value system is changing to low NVH and UC6 fit in just nicely. Worth checking out if you are looking for good tyre in dry and wet.

Try better tyres since you driving a drivers car, anything cheap or reasonable doesn't do justice to MX5. I drove rx8 before, cheap tyre and the more expensive ones make hell lot of difference. If you enjoy driving, get premium tyres
