I think you may have over spent. I have same thing but I replaced mine with Firestone Firehawk 500s they look great make the car handle awesome and didn't cost an arm & leg. But they are awesome bud.
Pirelli is now Chinese owned, so I will never buy another set of them. I put Goodyear on my 3 and couldn't be happier with my choice.
The OEM Dunlops and Falkens are absolutely rubbish and needs to be replaced to get a true sense of ride and handling of the mazda6. I replaced by Dunlops at around 18k miles with Conti DWS 06 and it completely transformed my car.
Federal 595's are to my knowledge, the best bang for your buck.
Sounds like you need better snow tires. Or you need to learn to drive in the snow. I did just fine in Houghton with an NA Miata on Michelin X-Ices, and in a low slung FWD Volvo C30 on Vredestein Wintrac Pros.
Crossclimate 2 tires are still the best performing all weather/all season tires in the snow. I advised my dad to buy a pair and he is extremely happy with that decision. He is driving a 2017 mazda 3.
My Mazda3 OEM tires were BRIDGESTONE
TURANZA EL440, and they worked amazingly and lasted for a full 50k miles.
I had a Mazda 6 that came fitted with Bridgestone Turanza. I got 4 years and 90,000km from those. I then fitted Potenza and got 2.5 years and 32,000km before they were gone.
The OEM one seems quite fragile.
My previous car was a ‘21 Mazda 3. The factory windshield was SO fragile in my opinion. Granted I live in AZ where rock chips are extremely common. I had 3 chips that quickly turned into 3 huge cracks within about a 6 month time frame.
