Mazda mx 5 Tyres

Amazing tyres! Loads of grip in the dry and wet! Which gives you the confidence to go faster and faster! Then when you do loose the back end they feel graceful and easy getting back into shape! No big tank slappers! Got a Mazda mx5 1.8 with new lowering springs and shocks all round! I would never buy a different tyre than the proxy T1R for my Mazda! And recommend them to anyone. And so cheep! £34 a tyre on camskills website, it was £73 for to tyres delivered to my door! Bargin!

So I am the fellow from Seattle who wrote the review on these from Sept. 2010 below. Having put 30,000 miles on them I thought it was worth re-posting an update. All in all I have to say that some 14 months later I am still very satisfied with the Conti ExtremeContact DWS. I made it through a rainy and unseasonably snowy & cold 2010/2011 with no issues, mishaps or surprises. On the snowiest days I didn’t drive my MX-5 simply due to this car has no ground clearance. I did however drive it on lightly snowy roads and they beat my expectations. In the rain, they are wonderful. We are back in our rainy season and they still perform very well. I still view these as one of the best tire purchasing decisions I have made. I’ll be curious to see how they perform over the next year since in the US at least a tread warranty is not offered (or wasn’t when I bought them) which may mean their longevity is an unknown. For road trips and comfort, operate them at exactly the recommended inflation values for your vehicle. I tried overinflating them by ~3-5 psi which did improve cornering/sidewall firmness but also made the ride harsher.

Excellent improvement in wet weather handling, dramatically reduced aquaplaning when hitting puddles at high speed. Very confidence inspiring.

I purchased a 08 MAZDA PRHT Miata which had a pair of General Exclaim UHP all-season tires. I am overall very happy and impressed with these tires and would buy they again if given the chance. Nice aggressive looks, great in the dry as well as wet. Snow driving is not the best - driving slow and steady in snow is a must. Probably doesn't help that I have a RWD roadster. Quite unless your ripping around the corners at the limits of the tire. Seems to be treading well and long. I didn't know the company General before driving of the Exclaim tire but now I will continue to purchase from these company.

Had 4 of these on an MX-5 for 25k miles at which point rear was down to the wear indicators, front had around 4mm left. Good handling, good grip in the dry, decent in the wet until the last few thousand miles, then very quick to let go on a damp surface. Utterly awful in the snow, but that's probably the car rather than the tyres

good tyre for the price.. i fitted 4 on my mx5 for £145 in 2009. to drive round europe. still going strong after 2500miles however having to replace 1 as car was parked up over winter and rear tyre deflated and now is distorted so has to be replaced
