Thanks a lot!!!

Btw, does handling improve significantly with these wider tires? I'm running the stock 205 width tires, and i'm constantly squealing on turns and takeoffs.

no problem, glad i can help out.

you bet it does!
back when i was riding on the stock tires, i experienced the same thing as you said and got really annoyed (my parents would think im driving too "agressively" and i also catch a lot of unwanted attention from other drivers/pedestrian on the street ). when they ran blad i got them replaced with bridgestone RE750's (what i have now) and boy does it make a difference!! not only as the ride noise decrease a little bit, traction is much better on all surfaces and the car sticks to the ground like glue while turning. i even feel safer driving my car with the new tires

i know there are better tires out there... but for the price i really cant ask for more. i've heard that the RE950's are very good too, and so are the Yokohama ES100's. im no tire expert and these are all the ones i know~

some people ask about the inaccuratecy of the speedometer after tire/rim change. i used a tire size calculator from here: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html and it turns out to be only .2% too slow so it's all good.

hope this helps!
