Right just something I've been wondering and thought I'd ask for some advice from ppl who know more on here. Atleast one person who knew what they're talking about commented about my tyre setup at PD Ennis. Basically I was/am running R888s on the front. Now they said that I would be much better off running a worse performing tyre upfront. With the car being so short and snappy, I can see what they mean, that a worse tyre should enduce some understeer in transitions, and make it less snappy in theory?

But should I really ditch the R888s? I always thought running as good tyres on the front as you could would be a bonus. Or is my car just a special case, or similar to 86s for example, and that the above only is only really beneficial on longer more stable cars.

We've done no real fiddling with the mx5 as such yet, due to no track time, and the fact that the car was controllable, and in many ways since mx5s/miatas havent a great drifting rep I thought we may have come across about as good as we could get it lol! But with mondello this sunday theres room to try a few things maybe and tinker a bit, so just looking for advice or suggestions, on anything from what ppl saw, noticed or know from experience with similar cars.

Cheers!!
