Now it's got Conti Extreme Contacts. They are directional, so they can only be rotated front to back which I admittedly didn't do as much as I should.

I have Hankook Ice Bear W300's on the Mazdaspeed 3 and I like them a lot. I actually first used them on the Miata. Not the most extreme winter tire but NJ has very mild winters and they behave a lot like an all season in the dry which is perfect for me.
Pros: like them a lot
Cons: not extreme winter tire

Mazda 3
Part number: W300
I have Michelin X-Ice tires on 18 inch wheels, and I have been very happy with the performance in winter conditions. Yes, they were kind of expensive. Last winter in MN was a crapfest, and I felt very comfortable with those tires in that size.
Pros: comfortable in winter conditions
Cons: kind of expensive

The Miata is pretty easy to work on. But ironically, one of the simplest jobs is a major PITA, changing the oil filter The thing is buried underneath the intake manifold.
Pros: easy to work on
Cons: oil filter hard to reach

In my experience the OEM Mazda Miata "Value" brake pads have absolutely horrible initial bite characteristics and require much more pedal pressure to achieve a given level of deceleration than aftermarket performance oriented brake pads.
Cons: horrible initial bite

Cons: crappy part
