f1anatic Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Currently Legacy GT runs 225-45-R17 on stock rims. Currently Forester XP runs 225-55-R17 on stock rims. I wonder what is the best comprise size wise for a common tire (Continental Extreme Contact DWS) for these two cars ? 225-50-R17 245-45-R17 http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html I want to errr on the Legacy "performance" side. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applesauce Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I say just run 225/45/R17 on the Forester and deal with the speedometer change. I found this site to be a little better than the miata wheel calc because of the side by side comparison. http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
