What's the best tire size to use that won't mess with the speedometer?

 

For daily driving and longevity, check these newer tires out. Off-brand but pretty amazing so far. I have these on my Subaru 2.5rs commuter car. UTCG 540!!! $260shipped is stupid cheap.

I'm running 235/45r17 on 5.5 gen wheels. They are a tad taller.

 

I'm using 215/50-17 on my 17x7 g wheels.

 

235/45/17 is as close to the stock 16' tire size as you can get I think. That's what size I'm going with.

 

My 96 came with steel wheels, and ran 205/65-15 according to the FSM.
According to http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
205/65-15 are 25.5"
235/45-17 are 25.3"

The 235/45-17 are .2' shorter and the speedometer will be fast by 0.6%,
or reading 60MPH while driving 59.6mph.

This is a very close match and will ensure a safety margin in regards to speeding tickets.

235/45

 

good find there i may try these

 

Ended up getting a set of Hankook tires, both dry and wet traction is amazing so far. Tires are about 3/4" taller so the speedo is off by about 0.94 mph, but still some awesome tires.
