Tires OEM Mazda or MRF

Economical and life span, I would recomend mrf wanderer. 6k per tire and will give you 70k+ km life.

Harder tires like MRF, Ceat, JK etc., will offer good lifetime and low wear and tear.

I have these on my Speed 400. I must say they are pretty good. No comparison to any other road tyre MRF has manufactured so far. They are atleast as good as Apollos if not better.

I recommend mrf zlx for sheer comfort and long life

Tires make more difference than anything. I too bought at used Mazda 3, and thought: "Oooh, this is dodgy in the rain . . ."

Then I got better tires (summers and winters) and realized: "Ohhh, I just had terrible tires."

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!

stock tires are garbage awd turbo here. New tires bring it alive much better confidence in the hard corners and way better in the wet

Won’t buy MRFs though because they will absolutely get you killed if you push the bike a little bit more than average.
