215/55/16

Toadsworth · 11-26-2008, 09:03 PM

Hey guys,

So I'm looking at a set of 215/55/16 dunlop wintersport m3s. How do you think these would fare on my 04 WRX? I understand the stock tire size is 205/55/16, so these dunlops are a little bit wider. Will this wider size make them that much worse in the winter than the 205 or will it be unnoticable. From looking at http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html it will also make my speedometer 1.7% slow. Are these things worth worrying about, or should I just go for these?

Thanks

It's gonna be oversized. Stick with the stock size.

i just put on 215/45/17 bridgestone blizzaks ws-60's which work amazing. dont go with anything other than a stock size on this or you will not be satisfied.
