Hello, i have a mazda protege dx 2002 with alloy wheel.
i have to buy new tires for my car and i want to know if i can buy 205-55-15 Dunlop SP Sport FM901? is it too width ? do they look nice on this car?
my car has Bridgestone Potenza RE92 195-55-15, the tires that came when i bought my car from the dealer.

If you change the width, you have to change the height to keep the speedo accurate.
Go to http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html. It will calculate for you what sizes you can swap.

The best upgrade, since you have the 6" wide OEM wheel, is to switch to a 205/50-15 tire. This will improve handling since you will have a wider tread and a lower profile than stock. Also, according to the Tire Calc, your speedo error will only be 1.6% too fast, which is negligible. This is a common and established tire upgrade used by a number of Forum members when retaining the OEM wheels.
Incidently, you posted in the wrong section!
