15x9 tire help
im looking to switch to some 15x9 6uls because im looking to run a wider more sticky tire. stickies are nice and easy to find but i live in pa and it gets cold here. while id love to keep a set of tires on my rpf1s for the winter months i dont have the space to store wheels. i could use a bit of help finding something that will fit a 15x9 and work in the cold. ive looked for 225/45/15s and 225/45/50s and really havent found anything. any help would be appreciated as i really dont know anything about tires and my local tire places just straight up told me to get a normal size wheel.

That's actually probably good advice.
You don't really want wide tires in the winter where you get snow. It tends to make the car float, which is not an enjoyable sensation in a Miata.
Trust me on that one.
Find a set of cheap stockers and put some blizzaks on for the winter months. Keep your summer tires inside. You don't want frozen summer tires.

Gotcha. So no snow, but you don't want to worry about freezing a good sticky set?
Personally, I keep two sets, but I have heard nothing but good things about nitto neo gens.
They are a good, cheap all season.
Edit: I forgot to mention, 205/50 is the widest tire they offer on a 15" wheel.
