How to Pick BETTER Wheels & Tires for YOUR Car

  • It’s time for our first mod on the Mazda Miata, we are upgrading wheels and tires! Changing your wheels and tires can completely change the look of your car and also drastically change the handling dynamics. The selection process for wheels and tires is more than just picking what you think looks good, trust us we’ve been there. You really want to make sure that things fit and look the way you want them too. You might want to slam your car and have stretched tires or maybe you want that gt look and want the perfect square fitment. We’ll guide you and show you how to determine what actually fits on your car, and by the end you should be able to find the perfect fitment for your own car and not just a Mazda Miata.
    We have a new channel!

      Fun fact a year later. American English is only different European English because if the printing press and news papers. It was cheaper to just remove letters, like how we have short hand texts. Y cost more ink than I. It was all in an effort to save money, and thus over time it was just fully adopted into the American culture.

    One thing worth mentioning is that for Off Road tires the measuring system is often entirely in Imperial Units.
    A typical tyre for something like Jeep XJ would be 30x9.5 R15 so 30 inches Tall (entire wheel height), 9 and a half inches wide (tyre width) on a 15 inch diameter rim.

      Jacob Baker get ready to have to buy another set in a year. Michelin’s are better but softer compound and what most people don’t know is they start at around 9/32s where as Pirelli control contact is a harder compound(less tire is lost to the pavement) and start at 11/32s. Just a tip man. Also I’m sure those 265s look so much fatter than the 215 oem or whatever

    Even though steel rims aren't as popular, I've found them to be MUCH easier to balance compared to most other rim types. Mainly because a lot of steel rims require clamp weights in which you would just measure and let the tire balancer tell you on which side the weight needs to go on. Sticky weights are fairly reliable too but there are so many different types of rims that chances are, if the rim isn't brand new or clean, those sticky weights are useless.

    One other thing about Offset is it's also about making sure the center line of the wheel lines up with the pivot point of your steering, doesn't matter on the back as much, but if it's too far in or out your wheel will move in an arc to turn instead of twisting on the spot

    Damn my Firestone Firehawk indy 500 tires passed every test with flying colors comparing them to the information you gave. Treadware 340, traction a, temperate a with a speed rating of 91W 168mph. Put them on my 2013 civic Si a few months ago and they are absolutely amazing for the price too, great in the rain as well even though they are a high performance summer tire. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a GREAT high performance tire. Got mine for 90$ a piece for a 215/45R17 but I think they have gone up in price since the word has gotten out about how good they are because they are a fairly new production of tire.
