I just put new short shifter with bushings last night. I doubt the bushings are causing what you are describing as others have said. The only thing I noticed is that shifting is less "flimsy". This is my third Mazda and I always found that you have to go easy on the transmission, you can't...

That's what you get with low profile. I'm not sure, but 50 PSI max tire rating, that's probably after the tire heat's up as well. I don't know how many PSIs a tire will gain after heat-up, maybe +/- 4 PSI?? I personally wouldn't go over 36/38 PSI

I just put some 225/55R16 on my MS3. clos561, did you end up getting that size and have you experienced any rubbing? I know a Mazda mechanic and he told me a friend of his noticed some rubbing but he can't remember the size of the tire.

Good idea... Actually I doubt the insurance will cover stripping the entire paint and repainting the whole car ;) I tried calling Mazda Canada about the 3 paint thing, they have no clue what I'm talking about. Ain't it great to not be able to get the right info from the right people. I don't...

I got hit by a car this christmas, cracked the bumper and dented the driver side wheel well. They replace bumber and well, but now the paint doesn't match. It's too yellow and not enough "orangy"... I need to go back and have them fix it cause it looks stupid, I'm really pissed about this...

Which do you guys think would be best, 205-60-15 or 185-65-15. The 205s are closer to the stock 17" and will be best to keep the ABS accurate, or the 185s which is narrower and will dig deeper in snow?

I'm confused, which is the definite size for 15" on the MSP? I'm looking everywhere and it seems that some poeple say onething and some say another. On tiretrends.com they say that you need 195-60-15, would that be ok?

I'm guessing that Mazda wanted to make a unique edition to the Protege without upping the price too much. Using a different engine could of been even a greater risk for them. And 2000-3000$ more might not have been so appealing for everyone who got the MSP. I wouldn't of minded the extra 30+...
