Mazda 2 SP Tires

I bought 2 of these last winter because I got stuck in snow the year previous. As luck would have it, I didn't experience any snow last winter. There was a lot of rain instead at, or below, 7 C. At this temperature winter tires are supposed to grip better. My experience at this temperature, in the wet, is that these tires are superb. They just make you much more relaxed and confident in these conditions. The guy that fitted them for me said (several times) that he really liked the tread pattern. So my driving is Monday to Friday urban - motorway - urban. Weekends, it's A roads and urban. I've just bought another 2 for this winter (2019/20). In the dry, I honestly didn't notice any difference from the all weather tires I've used in the past. But I don't have a fast car and I don't go to the limits either.

Just purchased another set of these tires as when I purchased my car it had a set on. The ride was good grip was great in dry and wet excellent choice for the price.

On my Mazda 3 MPS, around 315hp, those tires perform really good when the temperature is below 6-7 degrees celsius. As the temperature went up, they do not give me the confidence of a summer tire.
Overall, strictly for winter this tire is great. Performed really well on 10cm snow + ice underneath on an 10 degrees incline(I was amazed by that as my car has a high amount of torque).
If you buy them to use as "all season" do not mind.
As I used them for only for winter they performed as expected.

Absolutely useless. Only lasted 8,495 miles compared with previous Dunlop's 40,600. Soft as butter

OK in the dry, let go suddenly in the wet and slippery surfaces with bad understeer.

Noisiest tires ever!!! Never again

I drive a double cab raised body pickup and fitted new Bridgestone Duelers because the previous range had a good reputation for off road use. I drive two thirds tar road and one third gravel road every day. The tires lasted 50,000 km's till smooth with the indicators now gone and dangerous to use. I had two punctures in this time, one being a nail penetrating on the shoulder and one fencing rod that went straight through the middle of the tread pattern. I was impressed with the ride comfort and tractability of the tire in the beginning, but it became a harder ride and often losing traction as the tire became more worn. I was disappointed with the mileage attained with the tires, as previous range Duelers were known to last better than other brands with a lot of gravel use. I will now be fitting Goodyear Wrangler A/T Adventure tires of the same size, to see if they will fare better.

These tires came factory fitted on my Mazda CX5. Tgey are ok in dry weather, loose grip in wet weather en lack any grip at all in even the slightest ice and snow conditions.
In my view the only real benefit of thus tire is long wear. I have driven almost 60.000 km now and still have 3-4 mm profile.

My demio is light in the front these are an improvement on the original set but being a front wheel drive it has better traction on acceleration but still ploughs when decelerating and turning into corners. not recommended for Winter conditions.

Needed tires due to a puncture, and these were all that was available at the time; would definitely not recommend this tire for anywhere it rains! Awful in the wet, lack of grip is shocking in comparison to the Dunlop tires that came on the car from the factory. Also the general steering feel is very poor. Nothing to recommend them unfortunately, and will be replacing them shortly - long before they wear out.
