Koolz & TY for the quick reply. I forgot to throw in that except for running Eibach Pro springs the rest of my suspension is OEM stock. Will using the 190mm be an issue with a +/- 1" to 1.5" drop?
They are priceless & irreplaceable dude. You'll forever regret losing her like that first sexy/wonderful/crazy first-love babe you reflect about in the random quiet hours that occur in your life...

^ this for the winner of the chicken dinner! Keep it clean and simple and build if you feel the need later on.

Glad to...

Thanks for the replies so far. I went ahead and picked these Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus 215/45ZR17XL from Discount Tire.
These will go on the MX5 rims and I'll keep a log on rotations, wear & tear etc. Warranty is for 45k and rated Treadwear of 500 so this should last awhile.
Two year old bump but with good intentions. It's that time of year with spring and summer around the corner to start considering new shoes for my MSP and decisions abound. I reside in southeast AZ so our driving conditions are mild-to cold (+/- 20 to 55) in winter with a [U]very[U] rare snow...
