Tires OEM Mazda or Giti

I miss my shitty NB for the winter. It had a lsd and decent snow tires. Other than super deep snow, that setup was perfect.

Seriously though, if you can't get snow tires, put some weight in the truck. Weight in truck+snow tires makes the Miata a surprisingly nimble snowmobile.

Ive got a cx50, live in Tahoe where it snows plenty, and with all weather tires, this thing is a beast.

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.

Ive heard of laufenn but im more familiar with Giti as you see there stuff rebranded in the US as GT Radial and Dextero which are popular in discount tire and walmart. They’re a good budget tire but dont expect 50k out of them. I find most budget tires feel just as good as the more expensive stuff with their longevity being the main drawback

1200 USD on 4 tires, 2 rear wheel bearings, 2 tie rod ends, and an alignment.

Changed to them a few months ago, the wear and tear of these tyres are poorer than the common brands such as Bridgestones, foresee it lasting about 1 year compared to 2-3 years with common brands tyres. My road usage is around 12000-13000 km per year.

My rear giti S2 tyre burst in BKE while driving on the fast lane. It was probably already around 35000-40000KMs. I managed to filter left and get to the road shoulder without damaging my rims. It doesn't take well extreme hot weather.

Never heard of Giti before,  which is not a good sign.  After Looking them up, the reviews aren't great.

Tried the ff: Dunlop EC300+, Michelin Primacy 4 ST, Bridgestone Dueler, Giti & Arrivo (forgot the model)

A friend is currently using Giti tyres and according to him, madulas daw? Drove his car thrice already, but can’t feel the madulas part.
