My Miata tires went out today. I cant get new tires till later this week.

My brother has 2001 Saturn SL-1 steel wheels he said i could borrow till i get my new tires.

Will they work for the time being on the Miata?

YES! The tires may be a bit bigger, and the center hole is larger, but they will fit and work fine. I once drove from Mass. to Maine and back with SC2 alloys on my previous Miata.

Just head to Autozone/Napa/etc. and get the correct lug nuts for those wheels & they'll work fine.

If you were nearby, I would have loaned you a set.

I want to know more about the tires going out. Did you win (/lose) a burnout contest?
