Thank you for that. I realise now that I misinterpreted something you said in the previous post about run flat tyres.
I have mentioned your offer to Blink, by email, but not spoken to them yet. Hope you get the business but either way it is great talking to an expert and apologies for my slow uptake!

84 W is the correct load and speed rating for your car, if in doubt just put your registration into Blackcircles.com to check.
You don’t need to spend a fortune on tyres, there are lots of threads on the forum on the subject and many mid range tyres seem to suit the MX5 perfectly. I have Avon ZV5s on my mk3, partly because it already had them on the front when I got it, so replacing the rears with the same seemed sensible, and partly because I got them fitted for £75 each.
Congratulations on the car, by the way, enjoy it

Same here! Brand new ZV5s on the front and some budget Italian-sounding things on the rear I’d never heard of; go figure. Did a quick Google and it was nothing but bad news. Matched up the rears as the first job and pretty impressed with the grip in the wet and particularly in the dry; not too noisy, either.
Good choice
Were the old tyres Marangonis? I’ve heard mixed reports on them, but never had them on any car I’ve owned.
