Replying to: roadburner (Mar 21, 2008 10:57 am) The last set of tires I put on my old Mustang GT were Kumho. They were very good tires for the money. That may be the route I take. With the cost premium fuel heading rapidly toward 4 bucks a gallon, I don't want to spend an extra 800+ a year on tires. At least I get far better MPG than I ever had with the Mustang

Replying to: networkguy (Mar 21, 2008 11:22 am) I cross-shopped like crazy before I settles on the MS3. I came real close to picking up a 2003-2004 Mach 1, but I just couldn't get past the interior. Ditto for the Charger SRT-8. OTOH, I loved the interior of the GTO, but I couldn't stomach the Mutated Cavalier styling. I guess it all worked out. 23 mpg just isn't all that bad... |

| Seeking advice for tire replacement for my 2005 M3 s. I have not had good luck with the GY Eagles or Continentals. Any input would be appreciated! | |

| I don't have experience with your specific vehicle and I don't know what you're looking for in a tire, but if it's high performance all-season (with an emphasis on high performance) you can't go wrong with this tire. | |
I am just a shade over 23K miles and am within a few K miles of replacement...briefly looked at my options; if you want to stay with the OEM 215's you are probably stuck....Pirelli has an PZero and there is an older Michelin option as well but its a non-pilot...walked out the door  266$ per tire including taxes/labor etc. Has anyone on here jumped to a 225 size?...if so did you go to a 45 or 40 series tire?

My daughter and sister-in-law bought new Mazda3s in the past year. Daughter drove 20,000 miles in 10 months. We noticed a thrum-thrum sound. It turned out her tires are wearing unevenly. We checked alignment and it was fine. AFTER we took it back to dealer, we found out that tires warrantee is for 12,000 miles. Sister-in-law's Mazda3 only has 10,000 miles and shows same problem. Took it to dealer who says alignment must be the problem. If he can stall us for another 2,000 miles, this car will also be out of tire warrantee. Dealer could not refer us to a Kansas City location which will honor the warrantee on the Mazda tires. We are NOT happy campers. I have NEVER heard of a tire with such a low mileage warrantee.

I have a two week old Mazda 3S GT with Goodyear V-Rated 205/50/17's. As usual for a Goodyear tire, the handle alright, but I really hate the road noise. I have driven vehicles both large and small and for the last 20 or so years relied on Michelin tires. with only 1500 miles on the clock, I already hate the road noise on anything except really fine asphalt. Even the Mazda service department has told me that these tires will be doing well to get 24,000 miles before needing replacement. Is it too much to ask that I want wet and dry traction, great handling, reasonable tread life and a quite ride. I don't need to drive 149 miles per hour (V-Rated Tires) and I have been told that the car has a top end limiter set at 120 anyway. Can someone give me a recount of their replacement experiences that turned out well.
