Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Bridgestone Turanza T005 215-55-18 Mazda CX30 30,000 miles October 20, 2026

Tires are mostly fine, although I expected more from them. They came pre installed with the car and I'd say that although I did not have any major problem, they are not suited for my driving style. Handling in dry is fine and have sporty feeling but in wet could be much better, specially at the end of life, moment in which the front tires (car is FWD) started to lose a little bit of grip and started to "squawk" even at lower speeds.

For me, the worst is the comfort and noise. I have the feeling that they are too rigid and let vibrations come to the body of the car. For instance, in other car I had Goodyear Efficientgrip installed and they were way better. Now I decided to install Falken ZE320 and they are more adapted to my preferences.

Bridgestone Turanza T005 215-55-18 Mazda CX30 50,000 miles September 26, 2026

Tires are clearly made to last long, good grip with mild and hot temperatures, but at low temperatures it was bad, so be careful when wet and cold.
Tires were a bit stiff, but silent the first half of their lifespan, then became a bit noisy.
Anyhow, a decent tire.

Goodyear Vector All Season 4 215-55-18 Mazda CX30 311 miles September 3, 2026
I would describe the driving behavior as very forgiving, precise, and comfortable. The tire is rather soft in character and well-balanced. On the highway, it feels particularly at home, filtering out bumps and grooves excellently. From my first driving impression (350KM), I conclude that this is a long-distance capable and comfort-oriented tire... Best regards and safe travels! :-)

Nexen N Fera RU1 225-45-17 Mazda CX30 9,000 miles August 31, 2026

These tires serve as my daily drivers on a Mazda CX-30, replacing the factory Toyo Proxes R56. The tread compound is vastly more durable and delivers significantly better grip, which is particularly noticeable on cold, wet mornings. Performance-wise, the rear-end slip that the Toyos used to suffer from when accelerating out of a dead stop into a corner is completely gone. On top of that, they inspire much more confidence and a greater sense of safety under sudden, hard braking.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 215-55-18 Mazda CX30 5,000 miles July 9, 2026
I have been very impressed with the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6. Dry and wet performance are excellent, with particularly strong braking performance in both conditions. The tire feels secure and predictable, offering plenty of grip and confidence throughout the year.

Snow performance is acceptable and more than adequate for occasional winter use, but I would rate it below the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 SUV tires that I used previously. On the other hand, the Bridgestone appears to have noticeably better wear resistance and should last longer.

Overall, I would describe the Turanza All Season 6 as one of the most summer-oriented all-season tires currently available. It delivers excellent handling, braking and stability while still providing enough winter capability for moderate conditions.

My only real complaint is a low-frequency droning noise that has been present since day one. It is noticeable from very low speeds up to around 80 km/h and never completely disappears. As someone who places a high priority on NVH and cabin refinement, this is the tire's main drawback and the reason I cannot rate comfort any higher.

Despite this issue, it remains an excellent all-season tire and a strong choice for drivers who prioritize dry and wet road performance over maximum winter traction.

Pirelli Cinturato C3 215-55-18 Mazda CX30 600 miles April 12, 2026
Got these to replace standard Bridgestone turanza 005A. Did 4 wheel allignment as well. Initial impressions quieter, handling is great, dry and wet during late winter in the UK and early spring, comfort better even those turanza 005a was SL and these are XL. Perfect tire, my only concern is that fuel economy dropped about 25% which I can't explain. Motorway averages 42mpg, previously it was 56. I've inflated them to what car manual says to 36psi, but manual assumes the tires are SL. Wondering maybe XL ones need higher pressure to compensate, but can't find any info about this. Also confuses me that people were saying XL is stiffer ride, in my case totally the opposite.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 215-55-18 Mazda CX30 3,500 miles April 1, 2026
Replaced Goodyear vector4season gen-2 SUV. A lot better when cornering, excellent dry braking, very detailed feeling. Traveled on snowstorm with motorway covered on slush on 110-120km/h and felt very confident. Also tested on deeper snow without any problems. I don't like a little buzz noise when rolling on bad tarmac. I would like it more comfort. Overall an excellent tire -better than Goodyear- in a very good price. I think the definition "summerish all season tire" fits perfect

Continental CrossContact LX25 225-60-18 Mazda CX30 15,000 miles December 2, 2025
I wanted a set of Continental DWS06+ but it didn't come in quite the right size for my car so I went with the LX25 instead. For reference I live in MA but regularly venture further north in New England for skiing. My thoughts on the LX25 - pretty good, heaps better than the stock Turanzas that came with the car. Grip loss on packed snow feels smooth and predictable, not snappy like the stock tires. I've been able to floor it out of snowbanks on the couple of occasions I've needed to. Of course these will never be as good in snow as dedicated winter tires but I feel safe and confident when driving at a reasonable speed with these, something I can't really vouch for with the stock tires. No complaints on dry and rain performance, ride is comfy and quiet and I've never lost traction in either scenario.

Hankook Kinergy 4S2 215-55-18 Mazda CX30 35,000 miles November 8, 2025
Lifetime: used for 56.000 km and remaining tread depth was about 3mm
Grip on dry and wet: no problem in general, on 186 HP and harder acceleration from standstill the tire slips a bit. In the wet same. On normal driving no problems on dry, on heavy rain.
Grip on snow: drove in heavy snowing with the road complete covered by snow and I was able to drive with 50..60 kmh. Climbed steper road covered by a bit of snow with no problem. Maneuvering in parkings where snow was about 5 cm or more with no problem.

Bridgestone Turanza EL440 225-45-17 Mazda CX30 40 miles September 20, 2025
tires have only 40k miles on them and are worn to the point that I have to replace them. Tires came from the dealer on a new Mazda CX30.
