Tires

I am interested in this tire http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebrand=Yokohama&tiremodel=AVID+H4S&pc=31522 to put on the stock 17" rims of my mazda 3, the size would be P215/50 R17, would it fit ok and would it cause any problems with spirited driving given it is a wider tire. Many thanks!

Anyone, please some advice?

I think he's looking for an All-Season tire.

i'd try and help you, but i have no clue when it comes to tires. all i've heard that are good are toyo's and michelin's. i've read that the goodyears that come stock suck.

The good years are s*** and yes I am looking for all seasons, I already checked out the tire you sugested Agent xiii but I do not want to change the diameter no matter what

Quick question from a tire noob:
Why are the goodyears s***? Coming from a Civic, I think the car handles great. What are the advantages of scrapping brand new 200$/per tires for something new? I don't plan on changing my tires till they wear out, just curious..

go to http://www.1010tires.com and see how consumers rate your tires, then you will realize that goodyears are s***.

Wow, I see. (shocked)

I don't have the $ to drop $6-700 on new tires, but looks like I will need to replace them at 30K miles anyways, so I better start saving for some good ones.

Why does the manual come with dunlop documents anyways? Did anybody else get that? Kinda weird..

Dunlop is a subsidiary company of Goodyear... they carry the same warranty and s***.
