Tires OEM Mazda or ADVAN

I got a Mazda 2 with good winter tires , I'm in Calgary. It costs me almost nothing on gas, and I finish the week with way more money in my pocket. in my 40 years of life I've learned a FWD car with decent rubber will handle winter good as any suv.

I commuted 100 miles a day in my CX5 in snowy Maine. I had a 6speed manual transmission and snow tires and never had a problem.

I also swapped the stock tires for A/T tires, mostly for the looks, but they actually helped in sand and rough surfaces.

I’ve got 255 Advan 052s and they are nuts. Shits don’t let go no matter what

ADVAN Neova AD09s, no contest.

"200TW" ADVAN NEOVA AD09 last me about 25,000 miles even with an LSD.

Yes, they are good for the price. They last a while, but aren’t as grippy as other 200tw tires.

They do give great driver feedback due to stiff sidewalls, but this comes at the addition of road noise.

On track they come up to temp nice, and are gentle as they reach the edge of traction. They also don’t turn to ice when overheating, they just slowly start getting slippery.

Overall for the price, if you can only afford 1 set of tires, I’d recommend.

Advan AD07 - great dry grip, medyo madulas sa wet.

I've noticed that tires go fairly quick on my Mazda3

I club race an NA Miata and I'm $40k in before you count recurring costs like tires, fuel, entry fees, etc. Its an expensive sport!
