<VV> Tires for the 67

[Jay Pitchford]

Mike - check out this link:  http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
<http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html>You can put in the stock tire
height for the 'vair (185/80-13 for the LM, similar or same for the EM),
then type in your potential match beside it. You'll find you 205-70-14 is a
decent choice for matching original, as you're running 61.6 MPH when the
gauge says 60 (or about 2.6% big). However, typing in the 205/75-14 doesn't
look so good. Personal opinion, I'd try the 195/70-14 for a better fit both
width and height with the goal you're looking to achieve.
