Re: need some info for tires
Well, stock size is 215/55R16.
to keep near the same rolling diameter, but plus one inch in diameter, and wider width,
Probably 235/45 or 245/45 17 inch tires on 8 inch wheels. 225 width will also fit, but why have wider than stock wheels, without fitting some nicely wide tires. (although I probably wouldn't push it to 255 width.)
I like Toyo T1-R for summer tires. my SVX came with a set from California... which I switched out to Michelin all-seasons, because it is winter here.
But my wife's Miata wears T1-Rs that I bought for it a few years ago. They are grippy, good with water, not horrendously loud, and they wear forever on the Miata... The SVX will probably wear through them a tad bit faster, due to weighing ~1200lbs more... but they'll probably still do ok.
But lots of folks like Kumhos, Goodyears, BFGoodrich, Bridgestone, Michelin...
I have some General Exclaims, for the Legacy, but they wear a bit fast, and get louder as they wear.
