I swapped my OEMs with [Continental ExtremeContact DWS-06 Plus](https://continentaltire.com/tires/extremecontact-dws06-plus). They're pretty good and highly recommended everywhere.
4.5 L is the Ideal for Mazda 6 2.5 non turbo, I'm from the same country as you. I'm using fuchs titan 5w30 for two years and I recommend you do the same, I noticed quieter engine.
Yeah, I have 20k with these on my Mazda6 and I wouldn't say they're unresponsive. In fact I would say they're quite responsive in that they like to track in the direction you're turning, so the car gets encouraged to dive into turns. One thing I have noticed is that they feel much more dead if you let them get low. Keep them at 36psi.
I run Pilot Sports on my 2015 6 GT, and they are noiseless. FAR better than original Bridgestones, and last well.
My 2018 Mazda6 GT needed rotors and brakes at 47,000KM so 28K miles checks out. I put on power stops.
Firstly, thank god you’re getting rid of the stock Falkens, because they’re garbage. But as far as the brakes, it’s common. Mazda OE brakes are notoriously short lived. If you don’t want to be right back in the same boat in another 20,000 miles, put on a set of PowerStops or R1 Concepts and you’ll not have to worry about it again for a long time.
The CC2s are also awesome on wet/slush as the open v sipes resist hydro planing. Hit standing water with the BS Weather Peak, you better have a firm grip on the steering wheel. Michelin CC2S you hear the splash, but barely feel it in the steering wheel.
I've used the same ones for my Mazda 6 and they are perfectly good
Yeah, OEM rotors are not up to snuff. I have a '19 6 GT and went with Raybestos Element3 rotors and pads from RockAuto.
How about my 2021 Mazda 6 Grand Touring Reserve with a measly 14,000 miles and the dealer says the rear brakes are rusted and grooved with photo evidence.
