I bought Dunlop Sport Signatures as most people on Tirerack gave them good marks. Maybe the cold weather is hurting milage.
            All the tires will work with the TMPS . I alway have had Michelin's MX
 VR's and presently on Type S Pilots.
             What's so hard on getting a pair of winter tires for a Mazda 3? If you are that afraid of snow, then get your tires studded. We can have studded tires here from Nov. 15th until April first.
                 Last week we got 18'' two days back 12" and to-morrow 4'' 8". When I teach skiing out west kids rent tire chains to drive the switch backs. The base lodge is at 10K above sea level.

Anyone experiencing problems with TPS? I just got a brand new '09 3, GT, HB, and on the first day (a Saturday) that I drove it, the TPS light came on, and two trips to the dealer have led me nowhere - as they believe it is a "temperature thing." I am taking it back again tomorrow. (Not the best way to get started with Mazda and/or dealer, who told me they could not give me a loaner, because the service department was closed and Sales did not have access (yeah, right) to loaner keys. Also, the same THREE salesmen that were my "best friends" when during the sales process, were suddenly hit with amnesia when I returned twice with the TPS problem.)
 
Any feedback about the TPS in general would be appreciated. Thanks

It's a temperature thing. All summer no problems. The last 2 weeks the TPMS went on twice and stayed on after tires were warmed up.
  The problem was the temp has been _8 degrees for 3 days so right rear tire had to be brought up to 32lbs. Last night the temp went down again and the TPMS went on again.
 _3degrees. If i leave the car in the garage the TPMS never goes on,whatever it falls to.
   I'm going to pull it. If they are going to have that whistle at least they could indicate which tire. I froze my butt off.

Go to a junkyard(autoparts store) see if they have some tires . Go to Tirewarehouse. Ask for the cheapest tire they have.
   I didn't know you were responsible for tires on a lease check that out on some of the forums on here. I have a set of RSA Eagles with 120 miles on them 9 months old stored over my garage because they are unsafe at any speed.
