How to Pick BETTER Wheels & Tires for YOUR Car

It’s time for our first mod on the Mazda Miata, we are upgrading wheels and tires! Changing your wheels and tires can completely change the look of your car and also drastically change the handling dynamics. The selection process for wheels and tires is more than just picking what you think looks good, trust us we’ve been there. You really want to make sure that things fit and look the way you want them too. You might want to slam your car and have stretched tires or maybe you want that gt look and want the perfect square fitment. We’ll guide you and show you how to determine what actually fits on your car, and by the end you should be able to find the perfect fitment for your own car and not just a Mazda Miata.

We have a new channel!

Money Pit is where you get to learn about cars as we work on them. Each ep we’ll breakdown how each component works and then we’ll upgrade it. Join us in our journey to build cool cars, learn about them, and drive the crap out of them!

Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

Donut Media is at the center of digital media for the next generation of automotive and motorsports enthusiasts. We are drivers, drifters, and car enthusiasts who love to tell stories.

7:38 "Tyres must be changed after 6 years"

Me and my 20 years old tyres: "alright I guess just a bit more is okay"

[aaronmarkstaller]

7:38 "tires must be retired after 6 years"


*looks at my set of tires that are just threads and could legally drink
"... They still got some life in them"

“Ripping massive turns in the canyons” ... sounds excellent!! Problem is, what if we live in the middle of flat prairie land (Manitoba, Canada)?

The saddest part is wanting to work on your car but no being able to because you dont have a garage or driveway to be able to.

[haroldharold]

I freaking love this series but what makes it so great is that my parents have had a 95 Mx-5 Miata that does t run for years now and you guys have convince me and my dad to fix it up. Thanks so much and keep up the great work!

As a Costco Tire Centre employee, I want to thank you for teaching the masses about tires. So, thank you.

Last time I was this early my local shops still had toilet paper

wheels tires suspension at.... you know 😏

[TheAdventureAuto]

17 minutes goes by in one minute when you learn so much and it is presented in a great way like this. I knew a lot of this info but not all of it. Plus, I have a 95 Miata so its even more enjoyable for me.

[JEVvazquez]

Felt so special when he gave a shout out to tire techs lol. You’d be surprised the amount of people who don’t put on directional tires the right way lol

[carguytim]

“How about the bolt pattern? That is the pattern of the bolts!” Thanks for laying that out for us Andy Dwyer

[sakisgeo]

When are we getting a "How to roll fenders"
The: "dint want to modify the boty, YET" got me exited 😁

[rubenlino]

As an america's tire co. Employee I found this video amazing and informative, I'm happy my training was so neatly compressed

[willdiggs]

Great stuff. I love him not just telling us what he did but explaining why and how he got to that conclusion. Awesome information and it helps that he has a great camera personality.

"After 6 years the tyres should be retired" I see what you did there.
