Tires OEM Mazda or IRONMAN
Ironman all country M/T are actually really solid!
Pros: really solid
Ironman have been good on my inlaws buick enclave. Travels a fair amount between houstin and west texas...they've had em for about 5 yrs or so.
Pros: have been good
I bought 4 new Ironman tires and I am still very content with them.
Pros: very content
I had those on my Stock S13 (169 HP) on 17's and they worked like a charm.
Beautiful consistent Grip through the whole tire-life. I also didn't overinflate them. Ran them on 2 Bar cold pressure.
I honestly was impressed how well they worked on my car.
Pros: consistent grip, whole tire-life
Vehicle:
Nissan
I got the ironman iMove gen 2 as, for about 600 CAD plus instal they are a all season and have been really good so far, just terrible in snow and ice other then that I'd recommend
Pros: good all season
Cons: terrible in snow, ice
I’ve seen a lot of people in WA run Ironmans. Decent grip and decent thread wear. Solid tire for the money.
Pros: decent grip, decent wear
Tires make more difference than anything. I too bought at used Mazda 3, and thought: "Oooh, this is dodgy in the rain . . ."
Then I got better tires (summers and winters) and realized: "Ohhh, I just had terrible tires."
Pros: better tires, improved handling
Cons: terrible tires, dodgy handling
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I use 245-45-17 but ironman gen 2s have slightly less grip, and will last about as long. Only big downside I noticed is off throttle the ironmans will "float" alot more than the 595s. I started running the ironmans when the federals started going out of stock everywhere this summer
Pros: last about as long
Cons: less grip, float more
I club race an NA Miata and I'm $40k in before you count recurring costs like tires, fuel, entry fees, etc. Its an expensive sport!
Cons: very expensive
Vehicle:
Mazda
stock tires are garbage awd turbo here. New tires bring it alive much better confidence in the hard corners and way better in the wet
Pros: better confidence, better in wet
Cons: stock tires are garbage
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
