I had my service place lube the door and the problem hasn't come back so far, at least until the next time I need to open the rear door.

Can't cover the tires but it took over 6 years for the issue to show up which isn't bad. I check my tires pressure often, keep it on the 36 recommended and I've never seen it go above that, they lose about 2 lbs over a few months

I've been doing that as well. Even then it depends on the car as well. A 2013 Mazda 3 isn't going to have a smooth ride no matter what tire I put on, but I still like to read reviews

Yes, every day. San Diego

I just got back from Discount Tire, the guy said there is still some tread life left and that they recommend changing tires after 6 years but that they don't look that bad and I have time. I bought them 6 1/2 years ago so I am going to wait for a sale and research which tires would be best. I...

I'm going to wait for a sale and not rush into it

Apparently the tread left is OK, not sure exactly how much remaining but the cracking and age was the reason they gave for replacing

I drive almost all City driving now, and they reduced the speed limits recently so I am taking it easy on them.

This is the picture I was sent about the tires. I guess it has some tiny cracks on the sidewall, but when I look at them up close I see nothing

This was a general service shop that I always go to. What I could do is go to Discount Tire for a free tire rotation and see if they say anything, but I do trust my shop and they don't sell tires so they really have no reason to tell me they are cracking.

I checked them this morning. Yeah, the car always had a rough ride so I'm not looking to spend any money if I don't have to. Frankly I think the tires may do more than new struts.

I find the car rides best at slightly over 36psi, around 37. The lower psi makes me feel the bumps even more

I like my Continentals because they don't get caught in freeway grooves like some other tires I've tried, and I was wrong about the availability Discount Tire does have these Continentals so I may just go with them. I don't see any cracks myself but I assume if they said they wouldn't rotate...

Funny, I looked at the tires and see no cracking but it could be on the other side of the tire. The tire pressure is always at 36, but they overfilled it to 40 so I took some air out. Tires will only do so much for ride comfort when the car had a rough ride to begin with and the struts and...

More comfort, the ride is harsh

My service place told me they won't rotate my tires since they are starting to crack. They are 7 years old My car is a 2013 Mazda 3 iSport Sedan and mainly looking for a smoother ride although I know it will never be good, but I don't want mush. I currently have Continental Control Contact Tour...

They refused to give a quote without checking the brakes first. I am going for an oil change in 2 weeks and it will include a brake inspection. It was at 4mm 6 moths ago, I don't know why I thought it was less than that but hopefully I will end up not needing it.

I just looked at the receipt from my last brake inspection in September 2025 and it said the brakes are at 4mm, I don't know why I thought it was lower. I have a full AAA inspection which also includes a brake check so I will just go by the report which I assume will be OK since I don't put much...

They wouldn't give me a quote without checking the car first for $45. I am just going to contact my place and see what it includes

I had a brake inspection and the front's were lower than the rear (I seem to remember 3mm). I do a lot of short trips with a lot of stop and go braking and to be honest they feel like they need to be replaced. I sent a message to another AAA Station and will see what they quote me.
