Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community members frequently consider the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 as an affordable alternative when replacing factory run-flats, praising its handling, low road noise, and strong grip compared to earlier tires. However, sentiment is tempered by criticism of its poor snow capability as a summer tire, complaints about the RunOnFlat variant from performance car owners, and mixed tread wear reports compared to rivals like Michelin.
“Hi I am having a set of these fitted tomorrow. They are the same sizes as yours. The total cost will be £366 including fitting and balancing. I am using a Formula One Autocentre. I don't know if there is one in your area but it would be worth having a look. Hope this helps.”

TireRack delivers to Canada, does it? If I choose one of the Canada post codes as a location then it does show me both 205/45R17 and 215/45R17 available.

No other Goodyear summer performance tires are offered in Miata sizes in the U.S. Supersport is 19 inch and larger, I think. F1A3 is a competitor to PS4S, I've considered it for my previous Mustang V8, but poor wet performance put me off. Dry performance seems to be fine. I have not tried it myself. F1A3R is essentially a track tire with 100 treadwear. I haven't seen people in person who drove these on a Miata. If my goal was an ultimate grip I'd probably start with more known tire, maybe Bridgestone RE71RS.”
“Hi, I currently have Falken Azenis FK510s all round and i need to replace both front tyres. Sticking with Runflats, are these a good option: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 (225/40 R19 93Y) ROF XL *BMW [F] and is there any downsides to running 2 different brands? The back don't need changing yet car is a 335d xDrive Thanks for any info”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
