Decreasing the rolling circumference of the tire like that will make the speedo read like you're going faster and will also reduce your ground clearance , which in the snow , is not really what you're after . Just a couple points for ya ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Allen ******** Love Those REDWINGS !!! ******** 2000 Contour SVT Black w/ Tan #2137 of 2150 / built 2-4-00 Mods : ~ Factory DRL mod ~ "Powered by Ford" seatbelt covers ~ OF's TH fix ~ Audi A-6 Side Repeaters ~ Highs in Lows Mod ~ #885 foggies ~ KKM filter ~ Mondeo ST200 Badging & Shiftknob ~ Pre-98 Sails ~ Nose Bra ~ Trunk cargo net ~ '98 Clock ~ "Glasspacked" Resonator ~ Painted Rear Reflector ~ R�zo Pedals ~ Custom "Mondeo" Windscreen Banner ~ Ventvisors ~ Lighted Moonroof Switch ~ Mystique Rear Seat Light ~ Painted Grille Ring ~ H&R Springs & Mondeo ST200 Struts ~ Mille Miglia "Cello" Wheels My old 95 \'Tour SE ~ New SVT pics here

No way! http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Know it, love it. You'll only be off 1.9%. If you got a great deal, it'll be fine. But for winter rubber, I would have chosen a dedicated snow tire, not an all-season.
