Okay, I need some for the Mazda.

I can't afford new wheels at the moment (some unexpected expenditure) plus anything for an MX5 is like MEGA DOLLAR.

I could get away with 3 as I've got a brand new Continental on there somewhere.

So, cheap as poss (it's not used in the rain or on the motorway) but okay... recommend me. They are 185 60 14's.

Only certain tyres come up on the tyre searches.

Not the usual KU31s, etc.

Couldn't you get yourself into clintons, balloons really aren't that expensive

Kumho's should be fine. Had a set on mine, I didn't die.
