I have to say that I am very favorably impressed with the stock rubber - B'stone RE 040, in the RAIN.
We got some good today and I drove around w/o traction control. I didnt drive like a hooligan, but I did aggressively take corners and was at full speed (
) on the highways for some time.Tires were excellent, grip wise - there was PLENTY of grip for me in the wet. Now, the NOISE was a little annoying. I'm hoping this improves with age.
So, Im up to 150 mi on my car already (got it with 328)! Pretty good day!

The car was delivered to me with 328 mi on it - they drove it from another dealer. I have now put 200 mi on it, so I'm at about 530 mi.

I just picked up a GG Shinka with Aero package and wing. MSRP $34650. Talked them down to $31700 and then the $3500 in rebates. Thats $28200. I'm very happy with the car and the deal. The break in is really tuff, the rotory is so smooth it takes effort to keep the rpms down. I replace the exhaust with the Mazdaspeed dual sport cat back and it really improves the sound, cant tell about the performance yet.
Also I really like not having to use a key.
My $.02 worth.
