After driving my Mazda 3 5-door on the stock Goodyears for a bit over a year and suffering through several snow storms with these tires that, in wintry conditions, feel more like skis than something with tread, it finally dawned on me that I was blaming the car for handling problems caused by really bad tires.
I have researched Tire Rack and now am torn between the less expesive and more highly rated Avon Tech M550 A/S and the much more expensive Michelins Pilot Sport A/S tires.
The Avon higher rating is based on fewer user miles and I could buy 4 for the cost of 3 of the Michelins.
But we have the Michelin tire on our other car (1996 Acura Integra) and my spouse swears by them.
Any one have any experience or thoughts to share on this topic?
