The speedo is driven from the computer.
A dealer should be able to recalibrate the PCM for the tire size but may still not get it perfect if the change data is not close or the tire diameter is not known exactly.
Good luck..

Do a online search for Miata.net tire size calculator. That will tell you how much your speedometer is off, either too fast or too slow. That way you will at least know exactly
how much the speedometer is off. Better than a speeding ticket.
