Tires OEM Mazda or BRIDGESTONE

One word from a senior Minnesotian

Bridgestone (Blizzacks) premium Winter Tire Possibly around the same price but superior in every way.

I don't understand what the noise complaints are about, honestly. I didn't notice anything different from my stock turanzas.

They're the best tires i've ever owned.

I’d go with Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultras. They are solid in all types of weather, quiet, and absorb bumps in the road very well. I have them on my cx9 and plan to put them on my wife’s cx50 when the time comes. I’ve been very impressed by them.

I run Pilot Sports on my 2015 6 GT, and they are noiseless. FAR better than original Bridgestones, and last well.

Great tires for the price. I have them on my own car better performance in the Stock Bridgestone great dry and wet handling low noise and appears to be wearing well. Performances just below top tier for a low mid-tier price.

can’t say enough about Bridgestone RE71RS.

blizzaks are the best in my eyes. have also used michelin x-ice, pretty similar results.

I got weatherpeak 2.5 years ago, and about 31k on them now. Now the thread is about 3/32nd left. Rotated at every 5-7k. Good in snow but so so in wet pavement. Very smooth and quiet even now with such a thin thread left. But very disappointed with the wear.

I moved to the Anchorage, AK area several months ago. In November, we received a couple of feet of snow. I drove fine in the snow with the stock Turanza tires the first day. But lots of compacting, melting, and refreezing made the roads slick as hell. The stock tires were slipping and sliding all over the ice.

I went from stock 19-20mpg highway, 16-17mpg around town to a 3.5"lift and 295/70r18 Bridgestone Revo AT3s and now I average about 12mpg city and 15-16mpg highway.
