I'm planning to get new tires need some advice on size
I am pretty sure I have 225/35/zr20's on. I'm thinking of doing 225/40zr 20's.
Is this possible? I went to the miata site and we'll it look like it was possible.
Any help would be appreciated.

You guys are having a "who has a bigger ****" contest. Why dont we stick to the question at hand =) haha. Thats nice information guys really but im really conerned on a look like yours mr ****'s, thats called staggered? If so how much did you do?
On another note my garmin reads me going faster where the speedo is not as fast.
I'm still looking for a good tire to run on my 20's 225's are obviously too skinny.
Any advice as to where to look?? Thanks

worse acceleration would potentially lead to worse gas mileage. larger diameter objects take more work to get going. it doesnt take a genius to know that it takes more gas accelerating than anything else. but in highway, yes it would be most preferrable given that your're already at a constant velocity. overall, it's not ideal to have the taller size unless youre on the highway 100% of the time. go with the right size.

Taller tire sizes are ok for people who aren't into stoplight racing (better for cruising), and shorter sizes are ok for people who like to give it some more pedal and feel the Gs. Personally I think they both look kind of goofy so I stick to close to OEM diameter.

Taller overall gearing typically nets you better mileage. It will take the same amount of work to get to the same speed, but you have a taller gearset to choose from. I won't argue further except to tell you that you're wrong. We are not talking about heavy wheels here.

stay with close-to-OE sizing.

How about you 2 get aim names and IM each other. I realize you guys are having fun with the tech questions and all but where can I find some good 235/40/zr20's baby?
Pep boys is doing a sale with any wheel and size buy 3 get 1 free. So I'd like to go in and tell them which are some good shoes.
Thanks guys.
Physics was easy btw <--b+

touche. Most everyone I talk to here says EE is the tougher major, I think somewhere like SLO would focus more on MEs so they'd have more material and people who went there might have different opinions. The EEs here are typically the ones who have no life, you see quite a few attractive girl MEs and broly guy MEs.
