It's not ALL about the width, Richie Rich. IIRC the contact patch is 8.3" vs. 8.6"
The 215/45/16 is already large enough (diameter). That's exactly the tire I just picked up. But I dont see a reason to mix-and-match the compounds and widths. It is really worth the extra $175 for the rear tires?
I'd also like to see you fit the 225/45/16s up front, I know we couldn't fit a 225/50/15 on a lowered miata, and the 225/45/16 is the same diameter, 24". I'm worried about my 215/45s fitting...

Or... btw... you can fit 245-35/16 tires on a NA miata....they should fit just fine on a NB.

I'm not liking the different tread patterns on front and back idea.

nah like these Hoosier A6 im kinda tempted to get em now anyway in narrower form 225-240 or so wide. Like i said understeer is your enemy and controlled oversteer via throttle is where the party is at.
