Shouldn't you be running a 245/45?

Doug,
The Kumho XS comes in a 265/45-16 which might work and 25.4' in diameter as compared 245/50 at 25.6". They have a 225/50 for the front if that is wide enough for the front. $178/ea for the rears from Discount tire/shipped http://www.kumhousa.com/Tire.aspx?id=675dce77-813e-4027-b467-2bea0466bd5c&cat=24 And a tire size calculator http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
