Ok i have treid runing the usual search option but to no avail so here goes, dumb noobs first post tada

so i have just bought me a 91 miata with a Greddy turbo kit, some of you may have seen it form the gallery. I live in Helsinki, Finland and well winters are less than friendly round these parts and by law we have to run "winter tyres" in the appropriate season.

Now i have here in my Garage a set of Nokian studded winter tyres in excellent condition alas the size is a step up from the std on the car.(185/70/14)

Has anyone run oversized rubber on theirs and noticed any issues other than the obvious that my speedo will read slow? from my calculations i am only about 6-7% out so nothing too bad and still within the 10% rule of thumb.

feel free to flame suitably but i have tried to find other threads on this topic.

Thank you brains I knew someone would oblige with such an answer alas new set of those is close to 500euro notes, they ain't worth much these days but I still like to hold on to as many as I can.

It'll work fine, I've run 225/50-15 and they were huge compared to my stock 14's, definitely bigger than 6-7%.

Cheers Curly, actually your size only works out as 5% bigger but good to know.
