Hey tire amd rim guys,

Is this title ok?
I notice the car is equiped with directional tires. Is this mean we don't need to rotate the tire? Perhaps only from front to back, then go to shop for diagonal switch?

When mine gets here, I'll rotate every 3k miles, doing it myself as I do with my Miata. The OEM Bridgestones are NOT the best tires IMHO. They are 140 rated for mileage, "A" for traction, the same as the OEMs that came with my '02 Miata. Those tires, after four autox's and 11.5k miles were done, even with regular rotations, front to back, of course.
As with the Miata, I can't wait until the OEMs are shot so I can replace them with something far better like the 030 'stones. I put Yoko ES100s on the Miata. They were $20 cheaper than the OEMs and are 280 rated for mileage, AA for traction. I don't really understand why Mazda puts these 140/A rated tires on their sports cars. The ones used aren't cheap and far better are available for less costs. MHO!
