Tires OEM Mazda or OEM FORD
30k miles on 2024 mazda3 turbo hatchback. No problems other than replaced tires due to the low profiles hitting potholes.
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.
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.
Ive got a cx50, live in Tahoe where it snows plenty, and with all weather tires, this thing is a beast.
I got a Mazda 2 with good winter tires , I'm in Calgary. It costs me almost nothing on gas, and I finish the week with way more money in my pocket. in my 40 years of life I've learned a FWD car with decent rubber will handle winter good as any suv.
I commuted 100 miles a day in my CX5 in snowy Maine. I had a 6speed manual transmission and snow tires and never had a problem.
1200 USD on 4 tires, 2 rear wheel bearings, 2 tie rod ends, and an alignment.
These tires are too tall. There's a headlight bracket that doesn't touch normally, but if you're turning and the suspension compresses, whether from a bump or cornering, then you will get these gashes in the shoulder of your tire.
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!
I can confirm. Do not sign up! I purchased a brand new truck 5 years ago,, the dealer has done all services, brakes, new tires, etc. Everything should have been perfectly maintained. I live in the mountains. I have a 5 mile dirt road to my farm. Ford install one size larger tire than what came originally on the truck. Unfortunately the mountain road can get rough in winter. This I believe caused a bolt to fail on the axle.
