They performed admirably, especially for the price. To my ears they were quieter than the factory Dunlops, and they definitely lasted longer. I replaced them after around 45,000 miles (~72,000 km since I see you are a northern neighbor) because of a sidewall bubble, but that was courtesy of a massive pothole rather than any sort of defect. There was still tread life remaining.
Best Tires for Mazda 3
I got Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. The responsiveness and grip I got compared to stock is insane, especially if they got a bit less pressure than asked by Mazda.
I did replace with wildpeaks on my Crosstrek and I have to say they're 10/10, would buy again. No additional road noise, handles well on the road, and significantly better performance off the pavement.
I've had my Hakka 7s on my Mazda3 since 2014 (so going on 7 winters now). They're showing their age but not their wear. Mine are studded (as all 7s are) and I love the fact that they offer exceptional performance on snow and on ice.
My Mazda3's all have had Blizzak WS60's, 80's and my 3rd gen is on WS90's. Love them!
While others swear by Michelin and Continental, I've got Pirellis on my 2019 Sport GT. My rationale is that if Pirelli is good enough for F1, it's good enough for me. I also bought my winter rims and tires when I bought my vehicle, and Pirelli is what the dealer suggested.
Never cheap out on tires. I just ordered Pilot Aplin Pa4's on the stock size for my turbo they were $266 i believe on PMCtire.com (which I find to be the best online tire shop here in Canada. Free shipping!). You get what you pay for generally for tires.
I had Ecopias (EDIT: EL-400s) on my Mazda3. They would not die. At like 90k miles I replaced them because they had gotten hard and the snow traction declined... they still had a decent amount of tread left.
stock tires are garbage awd turbo here. New tires bring it alive much better confidence in the hard corners and way better in the wet
Late to the party here, but just got 2 blowouts this morning with these bridgestones in my mazda 3 turbo hatch.
