215/55 -16 ?
Has anyone ever put on 215/55-16s on the front? I see the the Continental Extreme DW comes in that size as well 205/50 and 205/45, as the usual 205/55-16.

I asked the same question a while back on another thread and got no response. The DWs the dimensions look good with a slightly smaller rolling diameter and if I recall give an extra inch of rubber on the tread versus the 205s.

I am wanting to switch to 16s for next year and have no experience with this size. However, if you want to see the diameter change, use this link will help. Tire size calculator It's from a miata site, it will give you a diameter difference between your stock size and the 215/55 and let you know how close you are.
