Chris,
No one said the Miata rolled over in an autocross, did they?
That incident could have (probably) happened on the street, where all sorts of
variables come into play (other cars, curbs, soft shoulders, drawbridges,
etc...)
You're probably pretty safe in your Civic. And the truth is, tires with less
grip
actually reduce your chances of a roll..
