Exciting new tire option

[vvv90]

The title should be changed to "OLD tire option might be available."

Come on Nitto!

JMatt, I know you already got the Proxes, but you think you can put in another call to your informant to find out about these?

what's the concensus on front/rear tire size for a staggered setup using the INVOs? i'm running the stock F1 setup now.

did this tire eventually come out in 275/40/20? i really like everything i have been reading about it, its on Nittos site on that size, and on tires.com....but it says they are on order, and i dont know how long it has been like that for.

the price is right, i love that they arent directional, and the feedback i am getting seems excellent, very few negative reviews.

edit: well it looks like 6.1 has them, but it does bring up another point. everywhere i have read says that a 275/40 rear should match a 255/45 front....but using the Miata Garage tire size calculator, 245/45 and 275/40 have identical sidewall height, diameter, and radius. the circumference is off by .1, and the revs/mile is off by 1.0, but size wise, its identical. changing that to a 255/45 makes it a large difference. any thoughts on this?

I would use the actual OD specs from the manufacturer.

I mounted a 275/40/20 and measured it, and it was like a tenth of an inch or less difference! You have to have really sharp eyes to even see it with a tape measure!

Several members are running 275/40/20 on all 4 corners. I staggered mine out of personal preference.
