Best Tires for Mazda 3

Our other car is a 2015 mazda 3 with continental vikings. No complaints there as well.

I’d consider the Hankook Kinergy P737s. Great tread life, good for smaller vehicles and rated for 70 or 80k miles? First time I used Korean tires, solid performance in wet or dry.

I had them on my Mazda 3 with 45k miles and plenty of tread left.

I've just bought the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 for my car (Mazda 3 2.0 186hp). I live in south of Germany where there isn't much snow and the temperatures are mostly around -5 to 10C from December to March. The summer tyres I've got with the car (Toyo Proxes R51A) are actually worse on wet than most premium all seasons (at least according to the label), so I'm losing "just" some of the dry grip in the summer. I drive only like 6-7k km/year. For now they feel surprisingly good (around 5-10C outside) especially in wet - actually not much different than the UHP Hankook summer tyres I had on my previous car (were probably a complete overkill for the car).

I got pirellis and it made a world of difference. Thicker side wall

I went with 16" Michelin Primacy 4 68db ones and road noise has reduced quite a bit. Plus if you're in the UK, your 16" rims will never touch the kerb!

Me and my parents both had DWS06's on our 2016/2020 Mazda3's, respectively. They wore out way too early and one of my parents' tires had some really random tire construction-related problem that led them to replacing the Contis with the PSAS4s. They've been happy with those tires so far, I think they're a bit noisy and ride a bit stiff but response and grip-wise they're stellar.

I have a pair of tiger paw uniroyals on my Mazda 3 for my daily driver

It’s a okay tire and honestly just a tire with nothing special to it. It’ll get you to point A and B like it should.

the stock Turanzas (summer) are so crappy that the soft winter tires feel a lot more controlled and don’t steer by themselves like the Turanzas do.

My biggest complaint was the Bridgestone tires. I had two replace two tires in the 2.5 years that I had this car. I had to wait nearly 2 weeks for a replacement to arrive.

I've had my Mazda 3 turbo for 20k miles now and in that time, 2 of the Turanza tires had sidewall bubbles that compromised them. Not to mention, they are just noisy and feel like they have pretty lame grip. They are not confidence-inspiring at all and suck in the cold.
