Tires Pirelli or Continental
I replaced the Dunlops with a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s with a bit higher treadwear rating, so hopefully they last much longer with the alignment being fixed.
Off topic but my g35 has front tires from continental dsw06+ they are pretty god damn good.
I’ve ran both the Continentals and Yokohamas. General is owned by continental and make mid tier tires(continental would high tier in this case)
For your tire size, I’d take continental. The DWS06 is an amazing tire and well worth the price. Ran it on my 2017 Focus ST all winter long in the Portland area and they handled great!
Currently have them on my 2006 Acura TSX in south Cali and same thing. Good ride comfort, handling, and grippy around the corners.
Tire upgrade is the single best purchase you can make for this car. Continental DWS 06 tires truly transformed the driving experience.
got the Continental DWS06plus, so far they’ve been exceptional in the wet weather. Also, quieter than the uniroyal tiger paws.
The DWS06 is the second best on the market, but it’s probably not worth 75% more than the best in the budget category (the kumho), especially on a mazda3
The dws06 is one of the best tires on the market.
I purchased the pirelli last spring but they had really good mail in rebates. If you can wait for a good deal, they are great tires
I run pirelli p7 a2s in the summer (which are super quite and comfortable) quality tire. I use some cheapo winter tire in the winter (which are loud af)
I'm a model 3 performance owner and when my original Michelin PS4Ss wore out I had a problem because there were no Tesla spec tyres anywhere. I ended up finding some Pirelli P Zeros that were the right size but without the foam and since everyone seems to say the foam doesn't make any difference I figured what the heck, they'll be fine. They weren't. The tyres droned terribly, especially on smooth roads where the previous tyres with nice and quiet.
