Do you know how they compare to the falken fk451? I picked up a pair of the goodyears and a pair of the falkens at AK to run temporarily on what will be my autox wheels when I can afford another set for the street.
As far as I know, not much compares to the F1. S-03's are close, but the F1's are MUCH better in the rain (and the S-03's weren't bad). I've heard that Toyo T1-S is close, but has mushy sidewalls and thus slow turn-in. Azenis outgrip them, but don't have the quiet and smooth road manners, nor do they have the consistent wet grip.
FK451? Haven't heard much about them... which means they probably aren't available in typical Miata sizes, or they simply don't compare. (I keep up with the Miata communitiy, and the Miata community keeps up with what's good in the world of tires!)
You should carefully consider which end of the car you put those F1's on. I expect they will grip WAY better than the 451's. I know you like to drift... so I won't tell you to put the F1's on the rear.
