As for my tires, they are Toyo Proxes S/T II's, 255/40 and 295/40. I tried tirerack but couldn't get what I wanted. I actually ordered my tires through a local 4x shop and got a good deal IMO. A lot of the online sites that offered the S/T II's didn't seem to have good feedback which is why I contacted the local 4x shop. IMO, one of the best looking tires on the market. I love the ride, tread pattern, etc.

The only matching set that is close to my size are the BFG's 245/40 and 295/40; not that the 255 gave me much more than the 245 but I felt more comfortable with the 255. I used this site a ton.... http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

It helped with the prespective.
Thanks for the info....

Do you think you would rub with that extra .5" of tire in the front?

I know big Al is rocking the 30" tires in teh rear w/o issue but I think a 30" in the rear is to big for a 28" front.
