    Well I got my new Kumho KU21 ASX tires today. They were pretty good driving around today but this weekend should be a good test as we are supposed to get some rain (and possibly drop below freezing). Now I just have to sell my barely used RSA's. I think I will take some pictures this...

    Another alarm : Over Speed Alarm !

    That's strange I have had mine up over 140km/h and no alarm has ever gone off. You might want to see your dealer about that.

    Dealer installed wrong tires - HELP!

    That really sucks that they screwed you over on this one. If you are not getting any resolution about them installing the wrong tire from the Dealership I would approach either CFCN or Global as a first step as they might take this case on with their consumer advocate group. If they are...

    I'm running them with the 32 PSI as well and yes on the dry roads they are pretty good but with Calgary we still keep gettiung snow and it turns to ice very quickly with the melt and freeze going on so I need something a heck of a lot better for those conditions and yes I have the 17" rims. The...

    I'm in Canada so pricing is higher for me (Canadian dollar isn't worth as much). I did wait til the last coupel days of the month and I got them down from 29,900 to 28,800, I'm not much a haggler either but I wanted to make sure that I got the price all in (everything in Canada has GST tax on...

    Soon To Be Mazda 3?

    Welcome to the boards, I am new to here as well and just got my 06 Mazda3 about a month ago. I have the 5 speed auto with the 2.3L and it is awesome. I was the same way as you when I took it for a test drive I fell in love with the power and handling of it. My only suggestion after driving it...

    Tire Suggestions

    Thanks for moving the thread I was in a rush and partially dumb and was just in the welcome lounge I totally forgot to move up one level before posting. As for the suggestions in the other threads I am getting a quote for Kumho KU21 ECSTA ASX KU21-7418. They seem to look like a good choice but...

    Tire Suggestions

    I wouldn't mind just having a single all season tire but the tires on it now I am sure are fine as a summer tire so suggestions on winter tires or all season tires would be good so I can look at costs and decide which has the lower PITA factor. I live in Calgary Alberta so we get winter and...

    Tire Suggestions

    Hi, I have an 06 Mazda 3 with 17" goodyear tires on it. I live in Canada and need to get a good tire that isn't as slippery as the factory ones (I slide on ice and snow pretty bad) and I am wondering what type of tires people are using or can suggest that would be a good replacement. thanks

    How old are you???

    I'm 31 and just got my Mazada3 2 weeks ago. Love the drive but hate the tires on it. I drove it from Calgary to Drumheller on the weekend and I found the tires had no grip whatso ever. Oh well next winter (or maybe when the winter tires go on sale), I will buy a set and won't have to worry...

    Need Help Please !!

    If the wife could drive a stick I would have bought one but since we both needed to drive it I thouhgt this was a good compromise. I'm sure I will be very good at shifting uneconomically but I was hoping if I could make it better on gas mileage LOL

    Need Help Please !!

    I noticed the same thing with mine so I hope it is normal. But another question along those lines with the auto you can do the manual shifting as well and I was wondering if anyone knows if it is better/worse for the transmission to do this and also if it affects the gas mileage or not?
