From what I've heard people say they are excellent in the dry, but the MX-5 is a light car and I guess that makes a difference?

Only problem with the rainsport is the poor performance in the dry.

THere are many many road tyres which are better in the dry and quite a few which are now better in the wet too.
For a starter the Conti CS3 is better at both!
On an MX5 I'd want tyres which improved the handling, feedback and dry grip, so I'd be buying AD08's or RS2's.![]()
I think you will find that those are the now discontinued RainSport 1's.
The Rainsport 2's are a totally different tyre altogether, and have (according to numerous reviews) excellent performance in the dry, and untouchable performance in the wet.
I have yet to try them myself though, but if cheap enough then I might perhaps give them a go sometime.
