Yup! $250.00 is a good deal. I put Dunlop Sport Signatures from TireRack.com on my car as they recommended them.
                 Mazda cars due to the toe and camber are terrible on tires.I only have 4700 miles on my car, but I'm selling it for another make.
                   Good Luck

FWIW, I got 25,000 miles out of the Bridgestone RE 050A OEM rubber fitted to my Mazdaspeed 3- and that number includes three track days.

I have some 205/50-16 summer tires & I'm thinking of trading my car in for a hatchback sport. I see on tirerack the recommended size for the hatchback is 205/50-17, so will a 16" tire fit on the standard 17" wheel?
Thanks

Shoot, I'll have to look at other cars or wait & wear the tires out.

I have a brand new set over my garage RSA Eagles. I took them off because they are only good for dry pavement. I bet there are alot of people that have them on here.
             I'm keeping them because I'm dumping the Mazda. I'm waiing for a few more 2010 models to get here and the fact I only have 4700 miles on the car.
              Hey, check Mazda out I think they switched to another OEM tire.OOOppps no your tires won't fit.

Well, a Mazda Speed is a fun ride and if you got 25K out of them you must have been smiling alot.

I took the Eagle RS-As off my Mazda3 after only 714 miles and managed to get a decent price for them from someone who lives in the south and didn't really care about their lousy winter traction. In their place I mounted a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/Ss, which have performed exquisitely and still look brand new after 10,000 miles.
 
When the Michelins wear out (I'm projecting at I'll get at least 40,000 miles out of them), I'm going to be hard pressed to justify replacing them with anything else as they're just too good on my car.
 
Best regards,
Shipo

I switched to the Pirelli PZero Nero M+S all-seasons; they are pretty good street tires. If I continue to track the car I'm going with a set of Dunlop Direzza Star Specs on some lightweight wheels.

Steel Rims on 08.5 Mazda 3 I new Value for Winter by joem5

Can't find them on Tire Rack. I found some locally,but they said TPMS will work. What do you think.
                  The cheapest alloys were $115.00 each,and then $45.00 shipping., 4 steel rims $380.00.W/o hubcaps
   Ya, I know get the alloys, but I'm hopin' to get rid of Mazda.It cost me $160.00 Sullivan Tire (Shipo) to take off RSA Eagles and put the Dunlops on. Thats alot of Guiness money.So, if I don't sell,I have to get wheels.
