My rear tire is going to be a 275/60/15. What size tire should I put in the front? It has to be a 14 inch tire, I would like the aspect ratio to be in the 60 or 65 series. I would like it be a little narrower than the rear though.
Thanks!!

Check here (http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html) to calculate tire sizes. Compare your rear tires to various front sizes. For example a 245/65R14 would be 1.5" shorter than your 275/60R15 rears and about .2" less section width. A 245/60R14 would be 2.4" shorter and .7" narrower. Go there and play with sizes to see what suits you.
