Ive been rotating my winter tires front to back and back to front of the same side.
To even out thread wear Im thinking of dismounting, remounting and rebalance so I could install them on the...

Anybody in the forum used this shop for this service?
Opinions and experience appreciated. Thanks!

are you having leg pains? or as you say your legs are just "falling asleep".
i was dealing with sciatic pain for months. 10 minutes into my drive, pain would run down fr my butt to the back of my...

I was there a couple of months back for the same reason you were in. New tires, old tires worn out on the inside. But my alignment was within specs. Was your alignment out of specs?? ...

Was there this morning. Great shop, great service, great people! Price for having alignment checked too low to post here. I recommend these guys. Wish they were closer--I would have all my...

I just want to say kudos to QEW Mazda. Been going there for the past few months. Courteous, prompt, very professional yet approachable and NO HARD SELLS!

yeah, just came back fr the dealership and was told the same thing. so its handling vs rapid tire wear. it is wht it is I guess.

"Unfortunately, Mazda 3 owners are condemned to a life of rapid tire wear, and there is not much that can be done to change this. The Mazda 3 is engineered with negative camber on the rear wheels....

inside my glove compartment. i just take it out and hold it up on the windshield whenever i need to.

I have to admit I have been less than perfect with my tire rotations. And I think my tires are paying for it with uneven inner thread wear.
Assuming I need an alignment and new set of tires--would...

I had my tires rotated at the dealership this weekend. I am now noticing increased road noise. Its almost a rhytmic noise that increases as speed increases. I am also feeling just a slight...

Thts wht I thought. Any idea if they use CAA too out of province? Quebec, the Maritimes?

Has anybody in the forum ever had to call/use the Roadside Service tht came with our warranties?
Im headed for the east coast--and just wondering wht to expect if I do need them.

Thanks.

got my Mazda3 back today. took about 3 weeks. i too noticed that the steering is stiffer/tighter which i actually prefer. my invoice says new pumps, new lines and flushed. hopefully that solves...

Brought mine in today and it may take a week possibly more. On rental right now--Honda Civic. Mazda3 definitely got more Zoom. One thing about the Civic though--the AC is cold! Makes our AC feel...

and mines a 2008.5 Mazda3 GT at 50000+ kms.
reading slideways post--mine is one of the affected models/VIN

Happened to me today too. Had to pull over--read the manual--restarted then it was good. But this is definitely a safety issue. Will give Oakville Mazda a call tomorrow!

mine was doing tht just recently. it was a combination of an imbalanced tire and bent rim (potholes).

damn...i didnt know you could do tht. thanks phil.
btw, i may have ran a red light because i wanted to get some popeyes before it closed.

anybody know wht the penalty is (cost and demerits) for running a red light and having your picture taken??

tires needed to be rebalanced and one of my front wheel was bent. it was solved by rotating it to the back. vibrations gone and steering wheel feel is "tighter". props to Allen at SimplyTire and...

i've got 17's for summer and 16's for winters.

ok thanks. another question i have is--is it normal to have a "lighter" steering wheel feel with winters on? last winters steering wheel feel was more "sure".

i just had my tires swapped fr summers to winters. i could feel a slight vibration (steering wheel) when i hit 90's and stronger still when i go faster. this is the second season for my winters and...
