All,

I just purchased a Touring with the 19 inch wheels/tires and hope to learn a lot from everyone on the forum. It's really a nice automobile.

In the meantime, I wanted to let everyone know that I posted in the Classified section an offer to trade for like new Sport 17 inch wheels/tires to recent Sport buyers. I'm older and prefer the smaller tires, but I definitely would have wanted the 19's for the looks and handling in my younger days.

My set has under 200 miles and will remain that way for the next few months. If you have less than 1500 or so miles in like new shape, just PM me. You can read more details and get location/info for pictures of the wheels in the classified section.

Best,

Mike

 

All,

The wheels have been traded. Thanks for your interest.

Best,

Mike

 

i prefer thicker tread/ 17 inch on mazda 6 . much quieter and smoother ride also, than the 19 /less tire thickness i have .

 

Hmmm, not quite sure what you're trying to say; both the Sport with the 17" wheels and the Grand Touring with the 19" wheels use tires with the exact same tread width (225 in both cases). Are you referring to the height of the respective sidewalls?
