What width of tire is the best for the different sizes we are discussing? After reading the about the good and bad for the rim sizes I have decided to just stick with 15's. So whats the best tire size to go with more specifically the width of the tire.

This post is not intended to hijack the thread but augment it. :)

Generally, 205mm rubber works well; however, it depends on wheel width and offset, and your suspension set-up.

I have 195/60/15's (snows) on my stocks. Looks much better than the small 185's. Otherwise, go with 205/55's.

14" for the light weight purpose only.
I find the car stop better, accelerate from stop better and more responsive.

15"-16" is still the best compromise between look and performance.

15's for sure! looks good, rides smoothe, and many performance tire options thanks to Miatas! But why not run 205/50 or 225/45? Yaris' (along with my car) were blessed with massive wheel wells... take advantage of that!
