I love it! Looks great! I had Cooper Cobras on my Civic at one point, and they're actually a decent all-around all-season tire.

hope so! they looked like rain tires to me with all the siping and grooves. at least they'll last me forever with that crazy treadwear rating.

i looked at it and i guess you must've planted a seed in my head. at first i thought it might have been the super wide-angle lens i used for the pics (which may be partially the cause because it looks fine in person). then i figured out what you were talking about. the rear end raised up a half-inch when i removed the rear seats and the spare. i put the seats back in and it dropped back down. also, i put some 6mm spacers in the back. now the wheels look like a tailored fit! thanks for the feedback.

yes, as well as autocross. they were popular with the honda drag racers but equally with the miata road racers.
