255/35-21

255 is the width of the tire in millimeters
35 is height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width (35% of 255)
21 is the diameter of the wheel the tire is made for

Use this if you want to compare tires sizes and their dimensions: http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp or this http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

 

Forgot to mention, if you want to go thinner on tires, you can go 295/25/21, for the rear that is. For the fronts, the thinnest would be 255/30/21. It's all in your taste in how you want the tires to look fitted on the wheels, ie. meaty, stretched, low profile, and such.

 

255 = width of tread in millimeters. 30 = tire sidewall height expressed as a PERCENTAGE of the width, otherwise known as the ASPECT RATIO. So a 255/30 has a 255mm tread width and a sidewall that is 255(.3) = 76.5mm or 3 inches. Add the rim height of 21" and two sidewall heights (3" x 2 = 6") and you get the total diameter of the tire = 27 inches. Note that changing the tire width while keeping the aspect ratio the same will affect the total height of the tire/rim!

You'd better get a full understanding of tire/rim sizes, specs, AND the implications of them before your order ANYTHING or you will regret it.

 

Thanks you guys for the info, I dont plan to order tires til i find the right ones that i want.

@ mrsandman I think a 295 is alittle to wide for what i want to do to the car

Still searching and it's not looking good. I mite be changing my mind lol
