Is it true that Dunlop makes D40 M2 tires in 195/60 14's?  I thought
that they were 195/55 14's.  I have driven a stock Miata with 195/60
14's (Yoko AVS I).  The car rides rather smoothly because of the
higher sidewall (117 mm vs 111 mm of the 185/60/14 stock) but seemed
to be missing something in the handling in terms of turn-in and
transient response.  However, 195/55 14's might be quite good with a
sidewall of 107.5 mm which is slightly less than stock.
