Michelin Pilot Sport 5. They have great tread wear for their class. Great dry weather grip, and really great wet weather grip as well. Tbh, I was surprised how hard I could push them in the wet.
Michelin pilot sport 4s, best tire by far. So far gone about 20-30k on them in the same car that ripped apart the goodyears.
Reviewing the Carfax, it was a rental car for about 50k and then it was a personal car for the next 53k. Both seem to have kept up with maintenance decently as far as oil and filter changes go, but not much else. I didn't see any rust on the bottom, it drives smooth, suspension still seems good, and the dealership replaced the brakes (and put nitrogen in tires so the car goes 1000000x faster).
I replaced the shitty tires on mine with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and the difference is out the gate.
I have the continental extreme contact on my NB, and same. Those tires are fantastic. I dont get to push those tires nearly as hard because the car is not nearly as powerful as the ND is. But, I trust those tires very much.
I have used the Yokohama IG88 or whatever it's called and Michelin X Ice Snow. The Yoko's got me into an accident, the Michelins were still fun to drive spiritedly in the dry while also being confidence-inspiring in bad conditions.
I bought my car in 2020, its a 2015 Mazda. Bought it with 92,000 miles currently has 118,000. At this point I have had break pads replaced twice [last time in the beginning of 2024] and rotors replaced once [in 2022]. I took my car to a mechanic in December 2024 and he said breaks looked fine [took it in for another issue]. In May 2025 the car started making a squeaking noise when breaking. I know I should have brought it in then but I am flat broke, I had no money to spend. I have been driving it like that since then. The car runs fine otherwise, I have no problem with breaking [no input lag] and no vibrations on the break pedal.
I just got this fixed at the dealer on my 21. Its the thermostat. They put in over a million bad ones and don't want to own it with a recall so they sent out a TSB. There's also an extended warranty for all the cars for this part/labor.
I replace thermostat even the whole block. Same issue. This fucking car don’t heat.
However just want to put this out there that at 9k miles mine blew a transfer case and differential coupler. My situation seems to be a very rare case, the dealership had never seen this happen on these and had to contact Mazda multiple times during the repair process.
