    Bent rim - new tires too?

    I brought my 2010 Mazda 3 in for service bc of road noise and poor handling. I was notified that i had a bent rim/wheel and that was the cause. They said i also needed two new tires because of the bent rim. If i don't get the two new tires, are there any issues i should be aware of? Safety?

    Hi everyone, I have a question regarding a possible tire setup for autoX on my 08 Mazda 3 Hatch. Its my understanding that larger tires up front are best for FWD cars because they induce oversteer and neutralize handling. The question part is this: Is this true? If so what is the widest size...
