I had the Mazda 3 snowflakes on my car with the stock 205/50/17 tires before I had bought 205/45/17R tires and haven't had a problem with either of them at all.

The tires are Nexxen 205/40R/17. They look thin but they really aren't that thin. Good strong tires, drove about 30,000 miles on them so far.

Thanks, here goes nothing :)

I have the mazda 3 17" snowflakes on my car and they fit right on. I love them! If I knew how to post a pic I would :(

I had a weird, loud clicking noise every time I turned the ac and defrost on and it turned out to be my ac compressor.

I did find the cause of the yellow fluid!!! It snowed another 14" here yesterday, and after digging out the car yet again, there was an outline of drips under the car again in the yellow color I had first asked about. The drips were in the perfect outline of the muffler system! From the back...

About 2 months ago I had the clutch and tranny replaced, when the clutch is replaced is the clutch bleeder touched or replaced? I did have my mechanic check the fluids the other day and he said everything looks good. It will be a mystery until it happens again and I actually take a picture :)

Did you try Greenleaf junkyard up in Fitchburg? If they don't have something they can usually get it for you. Even the Gallo Mazda dealer on Gold Star Blvd has a lot of parts too. Sometimes their prices aren't to bad for being a dealer. Hope that helps :)

Ok, went to the mechanic and of course it was snow/ice build up causing the shaking. He had to use a hammer and screw driver to get it out. He also looked for "yellow" fluid leaking and nothing :( Well we're due for more snow tomorrow so I'll keep an eye out for more and make sure I take a...

Thanks guys so much! I'm on my way to my mechanic now (cross my fingers!) It didn't look like coolant, I thought that was like a lime greenish/yellow? I wish I had taken a picture of it!

does it look like "pee" yellow when it leaks?

It looked like it was from the very middle of the car, I would say under the middle console area. There was a trail of the fluid in the snow from where the car was parked and to a point from moving it. Even though it did look like some sort of pee, there was so much snow under the car, and there...

I thought it was rather weird myself. I'm not mechanically inclined but I do know the basic fluids. It puzzled me. My washer fluid is pure blue. So I know it's not that. I did check the other fluids and they all look great. The shaking didn't happen until after I dug the car out of the snow. I...

We just had 24" of snow the other day, so I had a lot of shoveling to do to get my P5 out. After I drove the car out of the spot to another, I noticed a trail of yellow drops in the snow from where my car was parked. My daughter asked if my car peed! So my question is, do we have a yellow fluid...
