tires

For those who haven't seen my ramblings about this before I purchased a set of Goodyear RS-A tires (OE size) from Discount Tire Direct (no tax/shipping) when they had a $100 off four tires sale early last year in anticipation of putting them on around Nov/Dec... however, the OE Bridgestones must...

Hi guys, So first of all I did RTM, and I also did a search about the particular problem I was having with the system on my 2014 CX-5 Touring, and it does appear as though some other folks have had this issue. I just want to clarify whether or not we are talking about two separate system and...

I had a tire blow on my front passenger side and the dealer said it can not be repaired since the sidewall is blown. 4 new toyo a23 (oem) tires cost 1300 installed! Now they said the tireware is too much on the other tires (29k miles, almost 2 years old) and with all wheel drive only one new...

Sweating weather i should invest in a winter set or not for wifes GT? Sometimes we get almost no snow/ice and have dry pavement most of the winter in St Louis Mo. Sometimes. Does the tire rating really affect handling as some snows arent made in H speed rating. Will most snows wear out...

Has anyone installed or considered installing a Mazda Bose Spare Wheel Sub Woofer in the Mazda 5? The unit I am referring to mounts inside the Spare Tire and was/is available on the Mazda 6 and Mazda 3 (hatch versions), as well as some other make cars such as the Nisan Rogue, and some...

*MZ3* Hey everyone, I managed to snag a set of 18x8 +30 g35 stocks to put on my MS3. I was looking for a tire size that can get me some poke and not be as thick, but still functional. I got the rims for a real good deal and plan on getting them painted bronze to go with my titanium gray base...

[Admins: please don't move this message to the tire forum!] Last week Colorado received its first significant snow storm of the season. We got three inches on the first day, then another 3-5 inches depending on location. In a 24 hour period I got to experience driving on thick tread ATS tires...

Hi everyone, I just bought a 2003 Protege5 on CL. I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't do a whole lot of checking before I bought -- I drove it, and looked around (in the dark) to make sure, like, the headlights worked. I liked that it was manual, that it had a sunroof, and that it was a...

Rims are in good shape (no curb rash). Tires are in very good shape with lots of tread left. These were outstanding in snow and were actually very good on dry pavement.. in fact they were better than my all-season grand touring tires. Sadly, my Protege5 is no more, so these need a new home. Can...

All gone

So these vibrations have been getting really annoying, it's at just about any speed, worse at higher speeds and around corners, no noise just vibrations and a distinct rotating sound, I replaced all brake pads and rotors and one caliper, drilled and slotted rotors, ceramic pads, and new oem...

Hey everyone, first post here. Thanks for all your help. My daughter bought a Mazda 2 and is up in Bangor, ME. She has stock wheels and all season tires on now, and I want to find rims for winter tires, and was wondering if wheels from any other car might fit. Was wondering about a Ford...

Whatsup whatsup, I haven't been on here in a loooong time. Just blew out a tire from a pothole yesterday, and 2 other tires have bubbles in them. NJ roads for you! My rims are 16x7 Motegi MR116, with a +40 offset I believe. The tires I have now are 205/45/R16, but these roads EAT my tires, so I...

Hi everyone, today the front tire on the car had a blow out at the what looks like the valve stem which is connected to the TPMS. The tpms sensor got destroyed and needs to be replaced. We need to buy a new OEM one of aftermarket. Anyone have any recommendations? Does anyone have information on...

Dear all, It's been few months my 2009 CX9 (103K) has developed a wiggle when I turn right... But not always and that's the rub. At first I thought it was the tires, so I hoped the wiggle will be gone when i put my set of 4 winter tires... It did not. Brought the car to Mazda, took it for a...

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a new set of tires in the near future for my P5. The ones I've seen the most positive reviews for are the Kumho Ecsta 4X's and ASX's. Problem is - none of the tire companies in the area carry those in-stock. So, would it be good to get a different-sized tire, or...

Hey I was in contact with a guy from this site and he stopped replying to me recently. I found out I have a bent rim and was looking for anyone who might have swapped some aftermarket rims with the stock and have them laying around. I have a 2003 p5, they are the 16" alloy rims and really...
