Tires OEM Mazda or FEDERAL
Only been about 4 months, but loving the Turbo Meridian and had no issues. So fun to drive and looking forward to snowboarding in Lake Tahoe. Handles great in the snow

Vehicle:

30k miles on 2024 mazda3 turbo hatchback. No problems other than replaced tires due to the low profiles hitting potholes.
Pros: no problems
Cons: replaced tires due to potholes
Vehicle:

I miss my shitty NB for the winter. It had a lsd and decent snow tires. Other than super deep snow, that setup was perfect.
Pros: perfect setup
Cons: super deep snow
Vehicle:
Mazda
Seriously though, if you can't get snow tires, put some weight in the truck. Weight in truck+snow tires makes the Miata a surprisingly nimble snowmobile.
Pros: nimble snowmobile
Vehicle:
Mazda
Ive got a cx50, live in Tahoe where it snows plenty, and with all weather tires, this thing is a beast.
Pros: this thing is a beast
Vehicle:
Mazda
1200 USD on 4 tires, 2 rear wheel bearings, 2 tie rod ends, and an alignment.
Vehicle:
Mazda
They seem to grip decent once warmed up, but they are a bit on the loud side.
Pros: grip decent
Cons: a bit loud
Federal tires to add sa mga choices
The tire size on the vehicle is not common and I’m seeing prices of $300+ per tire, more expensive than my F-150.
Cons: expensive tire prices
Vehicle:
Mazda
As others have said, bulging is a sign that the internal structure of the tyre has failed. As frustrating as this is, it's new tyre time.
Cons: internal structure failed
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
