Default New Tires for my 2008 Mazda 5

I am about to buy new tires for my 2008 Mazda 5 and wondering what everyone recommends? The dealership recommended Yokahama Avid Invigors at the cost of $219 per tire plus recycle fee and GST. I had a look at Costco's website for their recommendations and they put some Michelin tires. I have heard the mazda 5 is notorious for eating tires - my car is at 50000 (ish) kilometers and is almost 5 years old.

Thanks
Brent

I am running Maxxis on mine and the grip is awful so wouldnt recommend those. I have Falken 452's (they are now 453's) on my other car and they are great, will be fitting these next time

Before putting tires on, check your suspension, especially rear struts. Read more in Mazda 5 section. SEARCH.

Go to tire rack.com and read the the reviews on tires. Pay attnetion to those who have 10k miles on them. and pay attention to those with similar vehicles to the 5.
