Tires OEM Mazda or GT Radial

GT Radial are better price with better performance Zero complaints would recommend.

Traction is fantastic ????

These tires are absolutely amazing the grip is excellent drive is smooth quiet and stops on a dime. Firestone were absolutely shit. The Firestone wore out from general use way ahead of manufacturing specs. Wore my brakes out more than once. Never stopped as intended. Slip and spin when it rained had traction issues during dry weather. I would absolutely recommend GT radial.

The GT Radial SX2 is 200tw and there are a few super cheap sizes out there. I like them enough that this is my second set.

been a great tire, ill buy them in the future, ride well, just a tiny bit noisy.

I decided to go with [GT Radial SX2](https://www.gtradial-us.com/sport/champiro-sx2/) tires, these are low grip tires that I want to use daily plus track duty. I choose these because they are better for learning and don't hide mistakes, provide great feedback, last long, handle track heat.

I am currently using GT Radial (budget Indonesian brand) all terrain for our SUV and it performs a lot better off-road for me than the Yokohama Geolandar I replaced it with.

I had very good luck with some Walmart bought tires. I put about 53,000 miles in them before I sold the truck and they handled all types of weather and road conditions. Highway, snow covered roads, occasional dirt roads and wet and never had an issue with them.

Gt radial is definitely a cheap option, but I would say they perform decently for the price.

The socal 86 cup is sponsored by them, so they've all I've ever used. They're more like 260tw. But I got 245 r40 17 for like $80 each. They're not the best, but they're the best for the money.

I club race an NA Miata and I'm $40k in before you count recurring costs like tires, fuel, entry fees, etc. Its an expensive sport!
