Tires Continental or OEM Subaru
If you don't want to spend the money on Michelins, then Falken Azenis FK510 and Continental Extreme Contact Sport are affordable alternatives. They're also much better than the Nittos.
Continental DWS 06+. Good grip for when you want do drive your grounded to the ground Camry and also surprisingly good riding and quiet. Amazing in the wet and totally acceptable in the snow.
The stock tires suck. They last less than 20k miles on my Mazda, so I opted for the Continental DWS06+, which have been fantastic.
Others have recommended it the Conti Extreme Contact Sport (and Sport 2) are great tires for dry but one of the best wet tires as well. It out performs the Michelin in the Wet by a noticable amount with the current compounds
If you’re gonna be “cheap” and just run all seasons, I got no complaints with the Continental Extremecontact DWS 6
I'm currently running continental premium contact 5's on my C30. They do certainly grip well! My only minor gripe with them is that the sidewall seems a little stiff for the suspension
The OEM Dunlops and Falkens are absolutely rubbish and needs to be replaced to get a true sense of ride and handling of the mazda6. I replaced by Dunlops at around 18k miles with Conti DWS 06 and it completely transformed my car.
I’ve driven an AWD crossover with Continental True Contacts in deep heavy snow without issue.
I’ve had Contis Pro Contacts on 2 cars and I loved them! I did have 2 bubbles through the their wear.
I had a set of Conti DWS tires that always vibrated -- at least 2 of them. I ended up replacing them all within 5K miles because two of the tires were shredded in a Home Depot parking lot -- they left a bunch of sharp metal on the ground in the back of their lot and, classic my luck, I found it. They ended up paying for new tires under their insurance but because it was a Subaru, I argued I needed to replace all 4 tires. Anyway, the new tires... no vibration anymore. It's one of the best unfortunate accidents I had, haha.
