Best Tires for Mazda 3

I like my DWS06+ set. Not terrible in snow and pretty good in rain.

I’m digging my Kumho Solus on my wife’s 3

Tire upgrade is the single best purchase you can make for this car. Continental DWS 06 tires truly transformed the driving experience.

The DWS06 is the second best on the market, but it’s probably not worth 75% more than the best in the budget category (the kumho), especially on a mazda3

I had a set of Nankang NS-25 UHP tires on my mazda 3 turbo sedan. They were great tires and handled really well. Got about 30k miles out of them. I was pretty pleased, they even did alright in snow.

Adding my experience here too: I miserably struggled with those CRAPPY Turanzas on my Turbo 3 for almost 4 years, and I finally had them swapped out for Pirelli AS+3's. As crappy as Turanzas were throughout this time (leading to multiple replacements), I'm only now realizing in comparison how utterly awful they really are!

Right off the bat, steering is so much more nimble and smooth, I probably put half as much effort into steering now. Traction is worlds better, and the car runs a lot gentler, too. Don't get me wrong, 3T is rough by nature, but now it's gliding over the same bumps and humps compared to the death shocks from Turanzas (which by the way, got exponentially worse over time). There's a lot less understeering with Pirelli's now, and interestingly, MPG shows signs of improvement as well. So, count me in love!

BF Goodrich is Michelin’s “consumer” brand; I’ve had those exact tires on my Mazda3 and liked them a lot.

My OEM 2022 Mazda 3 tire blew 4 months of ownership. Replaced all of them with westlake, no issue except to those incidents na need i vulcanize kasi malas sa pako.

Kung daily driving lang, okay sila.

On the gen 3 they lasted until 30k miles, on the gen 4, both cars made it to 25k before replacement was needed. They aren't the best.

Mine came with dunlops and all four had to be replaced after about 16k due to dry rot.
