Good stuff. I checked out the track's website and it looks like there are regular track days sponsored by a number of different organizations. There is one on Aug 2 that is basically all day for $245. Not bad.

General Tire Question by dride

I'm shopping for new tires, and here is my question: Keeping MPG as the only priority, which option we be better:
 
1. 215-50-17 ultra high performance all season, weight per tire is 22lbs
2. 205-50-17 ultra high performance all season, weight per tire is 25lbs
 
I know weight matters, but so does extra friction with the wider tire.

I have the same problem Mazda 3 2006. Had problems with the Toyo Factory tires at 18,000 miles. Now am having problems with Firestone tires at 20,000 miles.
 
This is ridiculous.

Call Tire Rack and see what they have to say.

I've got 20K on my Bridgestones with quite a bit more tread left. Could be an alignment problem.

Do you have an MZ3 or MS3? If the latter, 20K on a 140 wear tire is pretty good.

I have an MS3. My point was that if an MS3 can get over 20K miles out of a set of Potenzas then an MZ3 should be able to do much better with the less aggressive rubber it comes equipped with...

TPMS Warning Light (!) - Mazda3 GT HB by fayec
Mar 13, 2007 (8:03 pm)

Bought a Mazda3 GT HB a month ago. Since day one, the TPMS (Tire Pressure) warning light (!) turns on when I drive. It will flicker, and then stay lit, turning off during the drive and then sometimes turning back on. I've brought into the dealership for service, and they couldn't detect anything wrong with the tires, and reset the TPMS module. However, the warning light (!) continues to turn on and off. Is this safe to drive, or is it a lemon?

TPMS module by JBaumgart

If the tires are holding pressure at the correct level, and a reset of the TPMS module didn't work, then it would seem that the dealer should replace the module.
