It appears that the problems we are having with excessive tyre wear comes from the 17 inch wheels. I would be very wary about putting 18 inch wheels on. They will probably wear even worse, and Mazda will not be in any way interested in compensating you when they do....

I'm really glad there were no serious injuries from the crash, it looks horrendous! I now know why we went for this car, safety and sliding doors:)
