Tire wear
 

Anyone having excessive tire wear issues?? Particularly, front tires on 2008 mazda 3?

My Yokohama YK520's are not that good....
 

Ive had 2 sets of these and for some reason front tire wear does not live up to its reputaion.For the one the rubber is softer that the ADVID type of tires. Don't get me wrong these tires are great as for as handling and in wet weather but they don't last long. I've checked them out at D.C. Tire and you can definatly tell the differance just the way they feel. The rubber is stronger.That's my next choice. I thought it would be the front end......It's not .You have to do your homework.:)

It's probably an alignment issue, there are a number of issues with mazdas for that. I know mine don't look straight but they wear ok anyway. I know people with the CX-7 who have issues too - think it's a common issue.

I have mine mostly fixed, look at the following thread for more info.
