Tires OEM Mazda or SUNNY

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.

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.

I also swapped the stock tires for A/T tires, mostly for the looks, but they actually helped in sand and rough surfaces.

We have a set of Sunny tires on our 98 Cavalier 4dr auto. (Used as summer only). Also a dedicated set of Cooper winter tires. As a summer only tire they have been fine for the last ~60,000km+ and the only reason for buying them is they were cheap, the car is old and getting pretty high in mileage. Wasn't sure how long it would last to be honest. It has surprised me and I figure the next set I buy will be a brand name all season for the summer only to have the car inevitably crap out shortly after.

I've noticed that tires go fairly quick on my Mazda3

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

Sunny's came on the Pegasus' the Volvo was sold with. I knew they were bad but that wet stopping is Suffice to say I am quite relieved the Polaris' I replaced them with came with Nitto NT555's installed.
