Tires OEM Mazda or Shinko
Shinko SR777 HD (reinforced) tires on my '04 FLHRSI as best bang for the buck given how ex$pen$ive the premium tires are these days. It helps to check the psi more often for longevity though.
Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: check psi more often
I run shinko 777 in the rear. It's cheap and I like them. The compound is a bit hard so you'll lose cold weather performance. But I ride in 45 degrees and above and haven't had issues with them.
Pros: cheap, user likes them
Cons: lose cold performance
I have shinko 805/804s, they are pretty identical to the 606s, and I absolutely love them. If you balance them well they ride good at 75mph, and handle dirt fantastic.
Pros: handle dirt fantastic
I switched to the shinko 244 front and have loved the d606 rear combo. It dives into the corners on the road and will give you about 80% confidence on the dirt.
Pros: dives into the corners
Ran a set of 777s on my sportster and they are great tires ! Was very happy with them.
Pros: great tires
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
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
