Mazda 8 (MPV) 2.3 Tires

They're great on dry and wet condition. Never overcame the grip of the tire from a family mpv. You could really transform the handling of a car with a sticky tire. The wet grip and aquaplaning is quite impressive. The grove might seem a little aggressive for a family mpv, but they're quite comfortable albeit a little noisy. They don't last long, only got 30,000km out of the front tires, but they've got a balance of performance and comfort unlike cheaper brand where they might have the grip, but not the comfort.

The dry grip seems to be ok, they're not Bridgestone Adrenalin Re003 or Michelin PS4 sticky, but they're more than enough for a family mpv (I did use Potenza RE003 and PS4 on a family mpv), but they will aquaplane dangerously on road with poor drainage and puddle. Aquaplaning at 100km/h on a highway isn't fun and scary, but these tires will aquaplane easily at more 80km/h and would actually lift both front tires without any grip whatsoever. Aquaplane once at an 80km/h bend and needed to counter steer the oversteer moment in a FWD family mpv, which is not usual with my other set of tires (Bridgestone, Michelin, Yokohama). Dry grip is not bad, they're better than the Yokohama that was an OEM tire from the factory, could lean on it and progressively understeer with enough warning so you could control the understeer. They're noisy after 20,000km, but they will last a long time. If I'm not mistaken they're in the 500 treadwear, but replaced them at 35,000 because I got a puncture and sidewall was destroyed because of that.

Fitted by the factory on our 2014 Mazda 8 2.3. Had to replace after 45000km due to low profile (about 2.5mm left all around).
Quiet, comfortable tire with a good wear for our heavy MPV. Good handling in the dry, but poor performance in the wet. I never experienced aquaplaning, but starting on a red light or uphill on wet roads set the tires spinning easily. Also breaking at low speeds in parking decks or cornering over a manhole sent the car slipping easily.
