Tires OEM Mazda or Goodyear

I got Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 on now and should be OK in everything short of ice.

The short answer is, No. This sub is an echo chamber. It skews very much to the purist side of racing. Reality - The racing is as good as it has been for a long time. The championship race was very encouraging. NASCAR and Goodyear seem to have found the correct tire combo for Phoenix which should help out Gateway and New Hampshire. That was the best Phoenix race we've had in a very long time from a racing standpoint. The Playoffs aren't as unpopular as this sub makes it out to be. Those who are happy are typically not the ones complaining about things on Twitter/forums/Reddit

The tires are good, BTW. I had them on my old car and was going in circles around others who apparently cheaped out on their tires. Like, had to help get a 4WD pick-up truck out of a ditch at one point.

I ran some good year winter tires for 8 winters before without issue.

Goodyear Ultragrip was good on RWD 535d, tuned

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.

Stay with the tiger paws. They aren’t as good as the original Goodyear WeatherReady but have high tread.

The one I personally actively avoid is Goodyear. I've only ever had one decent set of them and the rest have dry rotted faster than any other set I've bought. Their performance wasn't awful but even burning through a set of tires every 24-30mos, I shouldn't be starting to worry at 18mos when the tires are sporting lots of visible dry rot.

I had the Goodyears as OEM and they kind of sucked.
