Tires OEM Mazda or ADVAN

the tires have been excellent all around. I run touge/mountain roads and I needed predictable cold grip and exceptional grip at temp.

I’ve got 18” Advan 052’s on my Restomod 930 and they feel great.

Mid tier sport tires:

Westlake RS Sport,

Sailun Attrezzo R01,

Westlake DS1 sport

Upper tier sport tires:

Michelin PS4,

Advan AD08/AD09

Tires make more difference than anything. I too bought at used Mazda 3, and thought: "Oooh, this is dodgy in the rain . . ."

Then I got better tires (summers and winters) and realized: "Ohhh, I just had terrible tires."

The tires are 235/40/17 Advan Neova AD07 tires with about 8/32 or 80% tread depth left. By far my favorite tires I've ever owned suuuuper sticky, unfortunately I didn't have them long enough to get a track day in on them.

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
