The ride is definitely not as loud or bumpy. Again there was a gusty wind warning over the Pacheco Pass but I didn't feel unstable at all. Maybe it wasn't quite gusty. However, my mpg is down to what Mazda intended at 31. 😭 It was in the upper 30s for a very long time. Will check the tire...

That's what I found online as well. If plugging is $45, patching+plugging must be even more. 😬 Have you heard that once a tire is patched/plugged in two places, it has to be replaced after a third puncture?

Admin can you move this portion to a different corner of this forum: current Mazda owners with wandering eyes. 😁 The fans are at slateforums.com. I haven't seen one in person yet.

The Uniroyal TigerPaws are still working for me. 😂 I moved my well established Oleander plants to my weekend spot and kept them in the tires for two weeks. Now that I have secured a ground-breaking pitch fork, I can put the plants in the ground. The tires were previously partially buried in...

I didn't know that old tires were on the Porsche that got Paul Walker killed. 😬

On my weekend trips there are two sections in the hills with frequent high wind warning. In recent months, I could feel getting pushed more than before. Will find out in a few weeks if the new tires grip the road better. There had been a few storms this year but I didn't feel unsteady in the...

I thought the leak had something to do with the generic Peak formula that I used to refresh the cooling system. The lab tech didn't think they could do that in such a short period of time. And I only used enough to fill the radiator. Is there a Toyota that you like? I love the look of rugged...

Is there any way to avoid nails on the road? Like a super magnet mounted on the bottom of the front bumper or something, to pick them up before they stab the tires...

Sorry I wasn't clear, the picture were taken of the worn tires AFTER they came off. I keep them for other uses. The new set OEM size was mounted yesterday. 😅

Thank you! The new set is 2026. I don't think I'd go for online tire deals again. There's a reason why they are cheaper.

Last week when the mobile mechanic replaced the rear brake pads, he recommended replacing the tires right away. I have felt more vibrations in recent weeks but wasn't sure. For my next set (in two years), I hope to be ready for a different size. I don't know enough about AWD yet to stray. 😅

The plugs look silly. 😄 They have been holding up. Actually, the Bridgestone set was good at holding air despite the nails. They are not runflats though. Somehow the punctures didn't leave me stranded. Having let folks cut in and out in front of me and making room for others, I figured I have...

I heard that the price was gonna go up, but here we have low prices and great deals!

I bought this set of Bridgestone Turanza in April 2024 for $405 from SimpleTire.com. They were brand new but old (from late 2020 and early 2021). I remember laughing at myself for getting what I paid for: half the price, half the life. In two years I got maybe 48K miles out of them. Four...

The first pic below (with a rock) shows the deformation on the inside of the tire. The second one shows the outside that sees the sun.
