Mazda Mazda 3, 2.3 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Triangle Sportex TSH11 given 84% (215-50-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
Old tire was Goodyear engle F1. Everything is great. On a budget now. Try this triangle sportex tire Half price of the Goodyear tire. Driving for more than two years on this tire no problem as yet. Open road country road. Rain or shine. It a ok tire for the price. Not bad for a chep type. I don't think it will be any cheaper for longer. The quality is getting better than or the same as the top brand tire.

Driving on mostly town for 10000 average miles
They handle the way I expected them to on wet and dry roads. I have used triI angle tires too
Not bad either considering what I paid. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

So many people that have left reviews are using budget tires on
Audi and BMW and complaing about the quality or comparing budget tires with
Pirelli P zeros..... if you want your car to run the way it supposed to
then spend the money. After all you did spend the extra money on Audi and BMW.

Writing about the Falken EUROALL SEASON AS200 given 86% (205-50-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
I bought these tires instead of a full winter as I felt that an all-season better suited the UK's weather. After a few thousand miles on them I'm pretty much blown away. Certainly for my current car I can't really imagine buying anything else for the foreseeable future. These tires are competitevely-priced, acceptably quiet, offer good grip in the dry and brilliant grip in the wet (serious effort is required to unstick them). The only downside I can even think of is slightly increased rolling resistance over my previous hoops and therefore slightly higher miles per gallon but seriously....you can't have everything. Perhaps the best compliment I can give these tires is to say that since putting them on I've driven through a multitude of different road and weather conditions without even thinking about my tires. They just seem to handle everything.

Writing about the Accelera PHI given 36% (225-45-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1200 average miles
I had these fitted on four wheels for my Mazda3 MPS. First time I ever have under steer on a motorway bend... Fair enough the road was damp but it shouldn't drift off at 55-60 mph. Also, because of the low profile tire(45)and the material was very firm. The car suffered horrendous road noise. I changed to Toyo Proxies and now I feel safe on the road. Anyone wanna buy my Accelera?

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A given 70% (215-45-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 average miles
A very hard tire and it feels it especially at low speed bumps/ridges. The toughness means its long lasting and great at high speeds. Wet weather grip and traction on even lightly damp roads is quite disappointing- i got wheel spin at 40mph! The road noise is also excessive at low speeds. Mazda fit these as standard and the driving experience is arguably ruined because of them; continental or kumho greatly improve wet weather grip, ride and refinement even though they wear out ever so slightly quicker.

Writing about the Federal SS595 SUPER STEEL given 83% (205-50-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 130 spirited miles
I drive a mazda 3 200km a day, have put over 30 thousand k's on these tires so far with no complaints. They have only broke loose once in wet weather but then again I was not behaving. For those having issues I suggest you look at something other than the tires to blame.

Writing about the Bridgestone Turanza ER300 given 77% (205-55-16-V)
Driving on mostly country roads for 33000 easy going miles
Hard to compare against any other makes as this is all i've used on the car, but they seem fine to me, this site does need another review category for "ice and snow" which is probably the only conditions where they don't grip very well, they are summer tires though.

Writing about the Maxxis MA Z1 Victra given 80% (205-50-17-)
Driving on mostly town for 36 average miles
I had to buy new front tires yesterday [late July 2010] to pass NZ's requirements [wof]. Uneven wear on the inside [which one can't really see ], I couldn't find anything online of any substantial use on the brand I was offered which is Maxxis.Therefore I am offering this info as a 1 hour user!
Mazda 3 , 2.3 has a road noise problem and apparently a 'scalloping problem' on tires. I haven't had a wheel alignment done for at least a year [my car is 2005]. Reports are Mazda 3s are hard on tires.
My previous tires were from new supplied by dealer Bridgestone Potanza [spelling may be wrong] 250 x 50 x R17. I have done 36, 000 kms mostly suburban but maybe 20% on Auckland's motorways which are a mixture of smooth and horrible cheap rough stoney chip surface. The latter surface creates a lot of road noise which I never noticed in my previous car [much beloved Honda Civic GTI].
So far I cannot report on road noise but I instantly noticed that these tires make the car so much more manoevreable - I can now get into supermarket/public car parks dead straight whereas before I was always parking on an embarrassingly amateurish angle.
The other advice I was offered is - inflate tires to around 36 psi not 32 as per the Mazda manual. Get them aligned every 6 months or so - at least once a year. Some tire suppliers offer a 6 month check for free. That way you will save a lot of money. My 2 front tires were $215 each with alignment extra. Some suppliers offer alignment free and check ups free but they had not offered Maxxis tires - Bridgestone and Toyo. If I had realized the alignment and Mazda wear and tear were such a problem the original tires would have lasted another 2 years.
