    Bought 4 used snow tires 215 60R 15 for 2wd taco and took it to a large tire chain and Goodyear tire, also an independent station to put on. All of them said they were too small and would cause all kind of problems with ABS and speedometer. Originals are 215 70R 15. Then I took it to BJ'S tire center and they said no problem. What's the deal? I think they all wanted to sell me new snow tires cause they asked me real fast. Anyone know if this is true?

    Thanks

    I believe they were right when they said "problems" there will be issues with speedo and abs because of tire speed. Why would you not want to buy the correct tire size just to save a few bucks ? especially winter tires ? Go to www.miata.com , it's a tire calculator.
