I have a friend who says he can get me a set of pirelli and a set of bridgestones cheap as heck, but it has to be these 2 sizes, someone ordered the tires and never picked them up, will it look dumb if i run 275/45/19 pirelli, on the back and 245/40/19 bridgestones on the front? will this even work?

 

car will be lopsided by 5mm

 

yea i figured that sucks, so i could run 245/40/19 up front and 275/40/19 in the back

 

Those sidewalls are way too tall. With a 19" wheel, 245/35-19 and 275/35-19 would be the appropriate size that is closet to the OEM overall diameters for front and rear.

 

and that is still slightly taller iirc.

 

so will 295/30/19 and 245/35/19 work? he has them in a contenital sport?

 

use a tire size calculator? just a thought.

I dont' even know what width rim you have... lol.

 

Probably your best choice out of all you have mentioned.

 

im running the TSW thruxtons 19s 8 front and 9.5 rear ( i think)

 

google 'miata tire size calculator'

plug in stock to get our rolling diameter and go from there.

 

will those 295 fit

 

You dont have a clue do you?

 

nope not really sorry guys just dnt wnt to go to the tire shop and get screwed. Ive been running nittos and thy are lasting a mnth and a half at the most and the rears cost me like $800 dollars last time. I think i found a set tht wil work 275/35/19 and 245/40/19 bridgestone potenzas. I knw you say tht the tallest tire should be 35 but i see a few guys on here runing 40 on the front and 35 on the rear. will this be a good choice? i can get a good deal in these 450 for all 4?

 

Those should be ok assuming your offsets allow it.

Just got your PM - you're welcome.

 

I gave you the tool to figure out everything you would ever need to know.

Miata Tire Size Calculator.

you want to compare:

- rolling diameter compared to stock (within 3% difference I believe)
- rolling diameter difference front to rear (you want the rear to be within 2% taller... not shorter)

this is to ensure that VDC and TCS and ABS are not affected.
