    Re: Suggestion for new summer tires

    Just generic tire noise, a humming noise that increases in volume with speed. Wind and engine noise are well controlled in the gen 3 so I think this is part of the reason I'm noticing any increase in...

    Re: Suggestion for new summer tires

    Can confirm the Pilot A/S 3's are noisy. My Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 winter tires are much quieter. I'm almost dreading putting my summer tires back on ! The dry and wet grip however makes it a...

    Re: 2017 MY Facelift

    Interesting, do you know why this is ? To work out the bugs on the Japanese production line given their greater experience with model change over ? This follows what was done for the 3rd gen as well.

    Re: 2017 MY Facelift

    I agree with you but hard core manual drivers like us are unfortunately an extreme minority on this continent and the manufacturers have to play to the masses.

    Re: 2017 MY Facelift

    Re: Traded my 2016 GS to a 2015 GT

    All Mexican assembled vehicles start with '3' (1-USA, 2-CAN). Early 2014 GX/GS came from Japan because Mazda's Mexican assembly plant did not start production until Jan. 7, 2014, after the model year...

    Re: Wheel sizes compatible?

    Can 100% confirm 16" Mazda OEM rims fits fine on the front and rear. I test fit a Mazda 16" OEM alloy rim on my 2015 GT before I went ahead and mounted the tires.

    Re: New Pilot Sport A/S 3 tire from Michelin

    Just bumping an old thread as I installed these tires on my 2015 3 GT on the weekend. What an unbelievable difference between the Michelins and the stock Dunlop SP 5000.

    If your car was made in Japan (JM1) then it could be the following TSB. I believe that this would limit it to GT models unless some non-GT's were ever made in Japan. The TSB applies to 2014-2016...

    Re: 2015 Mazda 3 GT beeping noise

    Yeah I also had a sporadic dimmer switch beep on my 2010 but that was one small light beep randomly about every 40-60 seconds until I figured out what it was.

    As in disconnecting the battery for a while ? No, because the noise went away when I restarted the car. Just wondered if anyone had heard anything similar or had any ideas.
