I just bought an 04 mazda 6. its my first time driving this car in the winter. I live in MA so i do get a good amount of snow. any winter tire suggestions? Thnx!

Dunlop M3 . I just got them installed today on a second set of stock rims. They look awesome, but will have to try them out on that white stuff they call snow. The 225/40/18 Pirelli Winter 240 SnowSport Performance Winter tires weren't that great in the 3 seasons I had them on for the winter( didn't perform well in the snow). The new Dunlop M3 225/45/18 should be a lot better. I'm hoping the taller side wall helps too. I was surprised how short the 40 series tires were so short. What the heck was I thinking when I got those Pirelli tires? It's too bad they don't make an 215/45/18 Dunlop M3 for the MS6

Check into getting a set of 16x7 steel wheels (or a used set of Mazda3 or Mazda6 16" wheels), and 205/60-16 tires to fit. Even if you have the 17" wheels, the 16" size is standard equipment for the lower-model 6's, and will be less expensive compared to the 17" wheels/tires.

+1 on the Dunlop M3's. Absolutely love them!

Ya, just make a sticky so people stop asking the same question
