i might still go with the 255's just to fill the wheel well a little bit more. the 245 is a 29.5" and the 255 is 30.1"... i think this will look a little better and my speedo will only be off by 1.9% (at least that's what the miata tire size website says http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html)

anyway, thanks for the info!

anyone else?

I second the BFG's. They're great in the snow. Goodyears are not too bad either. 265/75/16's fill out the wheel wells nicely (about 31.6").
