i think i will get  falken 912 since ah lik gor strongly recommanded and the high ranking on the net. I went to kaltire today but they don't have any in stock and donno when they can get it. if i don't want to order online, is there any place that i can get the tire?

Another vote for 912, no problem at all.  Great in the rain.  Sidewall still a little soft.  It was decent on snow, but I only had 30 mins of driving in snow, then I swap into snows.  Quiet, cheap ($116 for 4) and made in Japan.

Mazda3 needs to go to 225/45/17 if you are looking for more choices. However, with the stock rims, you will have the 4x4 look!! (your car will look "elevated" due to the lower profile tires)

Falkens are generally good choice for summer use, all-season is better with Yokohama or Kumho.

rickrick: barF1 bought it 2 months ago when they had a $100 off if u are buying 4 tires, so that's why it was only $116 FOR 4 tires, plus he drove down to the states to get them...and i think it's 14" compares to 17"?

i wouldn't complaint if it's only $116, but then i dun wanna save that little and costed more if accident is going to happen...so i would never be cheap on tires and brakes...

but then again, if u think u have a pretty clean driving record for the last 5 years or so, then honestly the more experience u get the least requirement on tires it will be (but of course would still have to meet some sort of standard for one's driving)...

pkphilip: which yoko u think is good for all season? i dun really like all the yokohama tires i have tried on wet and snow, actually my GC used to have a set of AVID V4 (which was costed more than Dunlop SP5000 etc), turned out it hydroplanned so bad and snow traction is even worse than the stock RE92....was coming down SFU side by side with my friend and i couldn't stop for the light (snowing and they couldn't clean up the road fast enough)...i sold it right after that...

i am more of a fans for dunlop SP5000, Bridgestone RE960 if not choosing Kumho ASX, but that also depends on car types etc...

aucht

u can get it from ebay
