The FZ4 is really a pedestrian choice in tires and should not be confused
with high performance. In the San Diego Miata club we had several sets of
"test" wheels and tires which were passed around. The FZ4s were not well
liked. Now the Toyo T1s were a different story, everyone liked them. The
other tires you mentioned are really in a different league. If you want to
compare apples to apples then try the Toyo T1, nice tire.

Unless you know the weight do yourself a favor and pass them by. Miatas do
not take well to heavy wheels.
