I don't know if it is still relevant, but I put this Phantom on my 2020 Ridgeline, and I’m very happy. I saved at least $200. The tires were a little bit noisy in the beginning but after the first month much better ???? keep road as champ even under heavy rain. Totally recommend this tires!
Pros: keep road as champ
Cons: noisy in the beginning
Vehicle:
Honda Ridgeline
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 just purchased these tires a few weeks ago for my 2021 nissan rogue. they drive fine. they’re as quiet as my old ones, but maybe a little bumpier. the one thing that i noticed the most though was the drop in my fuel efficiency.
Pros: drive fine, quiet
Cons: drop in fuel efficiency
Vehicle:
Nissan
Phantoms are America's/Discount Tire own brand tire. They're a mid range tire that are for SUV's mainly but the smaller trucks like f-150, and the 1500's can run it if they are older from when they had the smaller frames. Better than the cheapest option out there, but don't expect top tier performance like, Michelin, Yokohama, and so on.
I'd recommend them if you do in city driving mainly, but they'll still be fine on highway driving. They're fine in wet weather as well. But again they arent top tier, but a decent budget tire so you don't break the bank.
Pros: decent budget tire
Cons: not top tier
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
