Tire History (Click on link for Review)
Origin of the name "Miyoshi"
I named my Miata Miyoshi for two reasons.
1: Miyoshi Umeki was the first and only Japanese actress to ever win an Academy award for best supporting actress in a film role. She won because she gave an outstanding performance, and giving an outstanding performance on the track and street is something my Miata excels at.
2: Test Track MIYOSHI was the track where the Miata development team spent much of there time setting up the Miata's chassis, and fits into the Miata's history.
