Tires OEM Mazda or OEM Subaru
Reviews
I had one of these. I leased a 2017 XT Premium for 3 years. I had zero issues with it over the ~ 30K miles. It was the first new car I'd owned that never had any warranty claims and never saw the inside of a dealer until the day I returned it. I changed oil and filters and swapped out the crappy OEM rubber for decent tires
Pros: no warranty issues
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 48280 km
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
Nope, you don't need to change all four. I had a similar problem on my Subaru Legacy years ago, and I simply bought one new tire and then took it to a local race shop and had them shave the new tire to the same depths of the old one.
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
It's an '09 2.5 Special Edition auto. Likes: Fairly \"sporty\" feeling. Lots of features for what it's costing me. decent stereo. Cons: weak engine. drivers seat doesn't go back far enough. armrest is awful. fuel economy sucks for a car this size. crappy stock tires.
Pros: sporty feeling, decent stereo
Cons: weak engine, awful armrest
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
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
