Tires OEM Mazda or DUNLOP
The Q5/Q5S is a good fire and has great grip with relatively low maintenance in the sense that you don't need to run warmers. What does suck is the wear, which is pretty aggressive ????
I run the Dunlop Direzza on my 2007 JCW - with no complaints.
For City just get Toyo Japan made. It'll cost u lest than RM600 per tyre. I've used Dunlop before and it's good. Threadwear high but the tyre not too hard. Good grip in dry but average in wet. Toyo Japan made excellent in wet n dry.
dunlop tyres are good budget tyres!
I drove through ice and snow with the GTs before switching to GO15s. I was pleasantly surprised.
My dunlops had about 8-9k miles on them and were down to 3/32" front, and 4/32" rear.
They are super grippy so they wear faster.
I never had any slipping in the rain.
A few weeks ago, on my brand new 2023 base model I swapped out my stock Dunlops for the Continental DWS06 Plus A/S tires and have been miserable since. Yes the Continentals did their job on a recent ski trip where the roads were a mix of ice, wet and snow, but on dry roads I feel like the car handling has diminished significantly (sidewall flex) and just don’t enjoy driving it in a spirited way now. The Dunlops are a bit of a harsher ride and nosier but I’ll take that anyway over these Continentals in conditions without ice or snow.
Absolute garbage in winter here in central new york. Need one say more. Summer tire in warm wet conditions are satisfactory. Cold dry conditions they have a slight slippery feel and if there's any cold wet conditions like below 50 they tend to move the car around.
Having worked at a Porsche dealership I’ve seen Dunlops wear out ridiculously fast. I’d be looking at a comparable Michelin or Conti to replace it with.
I have a pair of Dunlop Wintermaxx’s and they seemed like great tires, very gripping with dry roads. However, when it rains or is wet, they seem to absolutely suck. I start skidding/sliding even on simple turns at low speeds, even in a round a bout.
