Will 195/55/16 Work with 02ES Stock
#2
Three problems:
1. It will affect the accuracy of your speedometer reading. Check out: www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
2. The increased aspect ratio (from 50 to 55) will result in a more flexible sidewall which will have a negative effect on handling.
3. The overall increase in tire diameter and weight will result in a slight reduction in acceleration.
For best performance, replace your tires with one's of the same size unless you are also changing the wheel diameter.
