Hey all,

I finally got new tires on my 2005 Mazda6i hatch in volcanic red today!The stock Michelins lasted 69,700 miles (not too bad huh?). I purchased 4 Goodyear Eagle with Response Edge Technology215/50 17's. I wanted to go with the Michelin's again but they only had three and they could use some better wet/ snow traction. I gotta say the new Goodyears make the car ride somewhat smoother. It doesn't hit the bumps as hard, they feel like more of a luxury tire without sacrificing any handling. Also saved about $50 per tire at $169/tire! The steering feels considerably lighter which is nice. I have been searching the mazda6 forums and I haven't seen anyone else talk about these tires. Anybody else got them or know anything about them?

Had a set of these on my 05 and actually considered swapping them out when I bought my 08. I thought the same, smooth riding tire and very responsive. These tires will go on my 08 when the michelins are done.

 

Sweet! How many miles did you get out of them?

 

Put them on my 05 in april and traded it in December 21 so they had about15 thousand KM on them so I don't really have a clue sorry
