Hands down a great tire.. plenty of grip and much more quite than stockers.. I think Kumho says not to drive them in freezing temps. You'll be better off getting a dedicated set for winter use.. I keep mine on year around, but the car is not a daily driven car... more like once a month. But if...

^ glad you said that first. My 06' Speed will average 22.xx almost every tank, in town driving.. running 130mph, putting around town.. even have seen 24-25mpg. The hwy mileage will go from 26-29mpg if we get 93octane in it.. on 91 she'll average 25-26mpg running 70-80mph. We did get 29.4...

Just to add, I was in Europe in May/June.. saw one. They are WONDERFUL to look at!! very very pretty car well done Mazda.

Have you noticed an improvment in MPG after the exhaust install? I am considering doing exhaust to mine, only if it improves the MPG, that way the wife will allow it haha. Thanks.

..mess up the odometer? I see alot of you guys going that tire size. I am on the verge of getting new shoes for our Speed6 and didn't want to mess up the speed O'. Am I right in assuming this size tire will have minimum affect on the speed O' ? Thanks. J

Most people have no idea what the Mazdaspeed part of the 6 or 3 is. Like Clarkson said, if someone else besides Mazda had built it, it would sell by the millions. I think it is a Magazine dream car sadly, meaning people know about it but are scared of AWD-turbo, 6 speed (not an option), Mazda...

You would hope. I took this into count when I bought mine, it wasn't a week later I started getting power loss. Took it in and wala... it needed the recall done. Twas not happy. (headshake

20% all the doors, and Limo the back. :D It just 'looks' dark officfer. :P

(peep) double post, sorry.

We left our Speed in the garage for this round of snow... The crazies were out!! (shocked)

The wife and I Traveled from southern Oklahoma to Atlanta and back, over the Turkey holiday, didn't see a one, except the one we were in. :D I love this Speed. :)

I say buy a race car. ;)

As stated I have tried it both ways, simply to note any difference at all. Thanks.

Does anyone else's MS6 have trouble idling after a fuel fill up? Running while you fill it up or with it off? Mine has trouble running after fuel fill up's just for a few seconds, I have to give it a little gas to keep it running, once it goes through its 'fit' it runs like a top. It did this...

Just went on a short trip. Reached speeds of well into the 100mph range at times (in passing), and cruised in the 80s.. then reached the Talamina drive, 54 miles of curves, no craziness there...then back across the same road. 25.4 mpg. :D
