Tires OEM Mazda or BRIDGESTONE

The best winter tires I’ve ever driven with are Bridgestone Blizzak

I have blizzaks 225/60R18 on aftermarket rims. Have been very happy with them in the past. We get lots of snow and live on a farm. Have gone through 2 winters.

Everyone says they're mid but I've yet to lose any sort of traction wet or dry. And I've tried.

have previously tried pilot support 4 but they didn't quite work as well on my car on initial turn in and wore a bit faster but both tyres are amazing in all conditions.

I'm happy with them so far, but they do wear faster.

Huge upgrade from the Michelins I had, which were horrible for fuel economy.

The Bridgestone Weatherpeak is a better option. The WeatherPeaks have the advantage of being able to be actually rotated correctly.

Just got a whole set of these myself. Holy flexy sidewalls Batman! Comfy ride? Yes. Curb or rock protection? 1/10 ???? Quietness? 10/10! Cornering? 5/10.

The problem with LRR tires is they suck at doing the things you need a tire to do, like braking and cornering. I once put a set of Bridgestone Ecopias on a Mazda5... A FWD minivan with 153 Horsepower should not be able to spin the tires all the way through 1st and 2nd gears taking off from a stop sign.

My 2021 ID.4 first edition came with Alenza tires.

They were bad in the snow (got snow tires) and I went through them in <20k miles. Not impressed at all.
