Replying to: ex_tdier (Mar 29, 2009 10:13 pm) The guy suggested Dunlop SP Sport Signatures (almost half the price of the Goodyears). I've put another 38k on the car since then and couldn't be happier. The ride is better, handling is still great and they're wonderful in the rain. They have a 60k treadlife warranty, too. |

Replying to: joem5 (Mar 31, 2009 11:52 am) i've had my 09 Mazda3 HB for over almost 2 months now, put over 600 miles on it.. drove in the heavy rain at least 3 times.. no issues at all.. i drive fast, never turn my radar detector off.. specifically tested hard stops to check them out, no problems.. am i doing something wrong? although i haven't had a chance to drive these Goodyear RSA's in the snow yet.. |

Replying to: vovani (Apr 02, 2009 12:59 pm) Long story short, Eagle RS-As are possibly the worst tire I've ever had on a car, and given that their price is somewhere north of $200 per tire, they could possibly be the worst deal in tires in the history of the automobile. Best regards, Shipo

Replying to: shipo (Apr 02, 2009 1:21 pm) however, I noticed yours was 2003 model.. is it possible that the manufacturer improved quality of the tires considerably in the 6-year timeframe due to numerous complaints from customers and push from Mazda? anyone with 2009 model want to share their experience with OEM tires? thanks!

I pick up my new 2010 tomorrow and am a little concerned about snow handling capabilities of the car/tires in Wisconsin. Luckily (or not) we may be in for a late season 6" snowfall on Sunday so I will probably find out early on if my decision to buy the "fun" mazda3 rather than the fully loaded and substantially discounted 2009 mazda tribute AWD was a poor one. Tirerack has no reviews or test data on these new OEM tires so perhaps I will be the first.

Replying to: hiwaystar (Apr 02, 2009 5:16 pm)  $1000 or so. The Pirelli PZero Nero M+S all-season tires fitted on my Mazdaspeed3 worked fine in the snow and slush.

Replying to: evoi (Apr 13, 2009 1:36 pm) I agree; I usually keep my Mazdaspeed under 85 mph- unless I'm at the track...

I have the stock 17" Goodyear tires which came with my 2009 3i touring value. What are some good budget tires on the market which are good in rain and snow? We don't get a whole lot of snow and when we do, the roads get clear quickly. I am more concerned with good traction in rain, but don't want to spend an arm and a leg on new tires. Any suggestions? |
