I am about to buy new tires. Will these work. They seem identical to stock other than an h rating vs v.

Welcome to mazdas247.
How many miles do you have on your worn Toyo tires?
They work, I have them. Worlds better than the Toyos, which I struggled to get 35k out of.
Wow, must be driving hard. I have 27K miles on Toyos, less than 1/2 worn.
Regarding new Pirellis, how are they better? Ride, handling, noise, comfort? I assume they are nearly new.
Were the pirelli's cheaper than the Toyos? if so I that would be a big reason for me to switch.
Only if you consider 30 miles one way of straight highway driving hard...
Softer ride for starters, sidewalls aren't as stiff because they are more of a touring tire. Wet traction is WAY better. Road noise was OK with the Toyos, but the Pirellis are quieter. They are a harder tire, and I bought them more for the long run.

Not sure why your Toyos wore out so fast, but it can happen no doubt. Most here haven't experienced that kind of rapid wear.
Good to know the Pirellis seem good so far. How many miles do you have on them? I will watch for your report when you have significant miles, these could be the best alternative 19" tire.

Im at 6k? I think, I know I did them right before my 37.5k oil change, and Im just about due for another change now, so thats probably about right. Probably enough miles to get a good feel for them anyway.
The choices in 225/55-19 are limited, but more abundant in 235/55-19. I wasnt willing to take the hit on mileage and gearing to go up that much...

Agreed, that should be enough miles to assess most characteristics. The only other question that will come with 20K miles+ is the noise level increase when tires are well worn.
Yes, especially with a 2.0L I'm unwilling to change or increase tire diameter and take hit in acceleration.
