I’m writing this running on airport bacon-egg-and-cheese, 4 hours of sleep on a red-eye, and enough gas station coffee to legally qualify as a performance enhancer. My face still smells like sunscreen and tire smoke, and I’m pretty sure I’ve sunburned one arm more than the other.

Sounds like a really tough day at the office. 
So, uh, what do the tires look like?

So no 205/50-15's coming for the guys with NA/NB Miatas...
And Continental deleted their Extreme Contact Sports in that size as well.
All that seems to be left in that size is the 200tw tires and some off brand all-seasons.
In reply to jharry3 :
A052 and RE71 are around that size, right? But yeah, not a lot of choice
In reply to cyow5 :
Yeah, fewer 205/50R15 choices these days. Remember when you could get a good 195/50R15? Or even a 185/60R14?

It was a lovely day in the office!!

Run out and buy some 205/45/16 ECS 02s while you can! I did my part!

My ECS are near the end of their life and yeah Im hating not having an "inbetween" option in 15 now for daily driving is making me dread replacing them. I might try the Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 next.
I kind of went in on some period correct SSRs on both of my cars so not wanting to go 16s ugh.

Of note, depending on fitment, period correct SSR's were available in 16's and are often way under market compared to the 15 which are coveted by autocrossers.
I used to have a couple sets of 16x7.5, 4x100 SSR Comps
