They're sort of expensive I think, but the Bridgestone Battlax S20 is really nice in the wet. I had Pirelli Diablo Corsas and moved away from them specifically because of their poor performance in the wet.
Saab with Potenza RE970AS Pole Position tires. Best 3 season tire IMO.
Myself I am on stock breaks with upgraded components. I am running 18x8.5 235/40/18 Bridgestone(RE71R) VMR v810 One thing is when or if you lower the car the 8.5 at ET45 wheel might rub.
Stock bridgstones suck in the snow, the best systems can't help wrong tires for the conditions. 18" X-ice3's, have PP and Jb1 power and the traction systems are very impressive in my opinion. The car limits the power aggressively to maintain traction and control even in very slick conditions (good thing).
I have blizzak WS80 215 55 R16. I love them. Just waiting for some snow here in the Midwest .But they handled very nicely in a downpour earlier this week.
Found a guy on graigslist selling barely used bridgstone blizzaks, I mounted them on my 17" stock wheels. Went through last winter here in the northeast and I def recommend these!
I got a set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS-80 P195/65/r15 tires from costco and I am very happy with them.
See also: reddit.com/r/mazda3 - they seem to recommend the Bridgestone Blizzaks.
I got about 6 tracks days from my RE-71R tires last season. They were great for about the first 15 minutes, but fell off after that. They also got shredded pretty quickly.
I have the same tires and would have to say that they are pretty noisy. I have about 10K on them now and they get louder everyday.
