need new tires for my car... what do you guys think about these? user reviews seem good. I drive a 2005 Mazda 3 hatchback: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=ECST...
i personally love the BF Goodrich Traction T/A tires. Cheap, reliable, and good performance. Unfortunately none will fit your car.
these look good but i would rather have all-season tires that will last me 50k miles. i don't want to have to change my tires in the winter
I hear ya! It is all about balance :-) You want to get some real tread wear / all season / good price.
All of which seem to fit the B-list manufacturers that have that size.
From my research, it looks like your car came with Goodyear RS-A's, is this correct? How did you like those? I have had them on a previous car, I didn't like the squeals I would get under hard cornering, (it upsets the passengers) and they wore out too quick. Plus they are crazy expensive for what you get!
I currently have Bridgestone Potenza RE050A II RFT's on my current car, I can't complain too much quiet, but a little too firm as they are runflats. I just checked the price on those and they aren't horrendously expensive.
So... in the end I haven't been any help. sorry
