screw in my tire
On my way to work I accelerate form the toll booth and then all of a sudden feels like i'm rolling over something. Ugh.

I've already had one tire replaced so if i were to get another replacement i'd have, 2 old, 1 newer and 1 new. Forget it. I'll just get new rubber all the way around. SO.

I think i'm going with michelin pilot sport A/S. What size though?

225/50/17

or

225/45/17

 

are you riding on stock 17x6.5 Type S wheels?

 

type s wheels are 17x7.

 

on the CL, yes...

 

Agreed but no one can tell you drive a CL. Sigs are gone.

 

ok

 

go here: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

if you go with either 225/45 or 225/50 tires, your speedo will be off....so it's up to you

 

I have one stock CLS tire for sale if interested. 15k on it, 55% tread left, treated nicely to Meguires. email if interested fastdaddycar@yahoo.com

For an all season tire good for our climate (I am in NJ), I went with Mich Pilot Sport A/S in 225/50 size on the stock CLS rims. I have them for a month and 1k miles. Very nice, should have come with our cars to begin with. Handles great in cold/rain/slush. I went to costco, they were $199 plus $9 for mount/balance/roadhazard.

There may be other cheaper a/s tires available. The Mich has a treadwear of 400, and traction AA.


For the spedo issues, go to Mich's web site, as it has the actual measurements of their tires. There is only a 3% diff between stock and the 225/50 Pilot Sport. This is assuming our spedo's are accurate to begin with I checked with highway mile markers and one of those 'your speed is...' roadside devices and I don't see any issues with my spedo/odeo.

 

Since we cant tell you have a CLS, we dont dont which wheels you have then.

CLS is 17x7
TLS is 17x6.5
