I have heard the GoodYear rubber they put on ours are kinda ****ty tires (sorry kids) wear, snow and wet conditions - this tire is awful. Not enough miles on these to start a rubber thread (hehe) but lets keep this in mind when It's time.

 

Our's came with Bridgestone's.

 

I'd put my money on the Bridgestones, the goodyears sound like Ford poking budget into Mazda's business again. Maybe the sport package or having AWD adds bridgestones. If you eveer need to replace them Khumos and Toyos are really nice.

 

Must be the location or timing when made, I have the AWD G/T, and you're right, the Bridgestones always rock. Maybe I'll just put the Goodyears on my sons skateboard, they gotta be smoother than his steel wheels.
