Mazda 323 1.6  - 175/65 14T Continental Eco Contact

The Mazda is a good looking hatch back that will cater for a family drivers requirements. The reliability of the car is a major plus point as is the handling of the car, although at low speeds the ride can feel a little firm. A good range of equipment and engine options are available, and it competes well against its main rivals the Ford Focus and the VW Golf. There are many tyre options available depending on your particular driving style. The most popular tyre brand is the Pirelli P3000 which will give a good comfortable ride or if you are on a budget the Kleber offers a very good alternative

Mazda 626  1.8- 205/50 16 V, Bridgestone ER30

This is Mazda’s entrant into the company car segment. A stylish looking vehicle that drives as well as it looks. The only draw back is that the ride may be a bit firm for the driver that desires a more comfortable drive. There are many tyre options on this car, however the most popular is the Pirelli P6000 which because of its design will offer a smoother ride. If you require more performance from your tyres then the Toyo T1-R offers excellent grip in both the wet and the dry conditions.

Mazda MX5 1.8 - 195/50 15 V, Bridgestone ER30

This Mazda MX-5 is one of the most fun 2 seater sports cars to drive that you can buy. Excellent cabin layout and driving position help you exploit the rear wheel drive and handling characteristics of this car. The 1.6 engine can feel a bit sluggish but the 1.8 engine is an excellent power unit. The tyres for this car need to provide excellent levels of grip in both the wet and the dry. Options would be the Toyo T1-R or the Pirelli P7000. For a budget option the Falken ZE512 provides good grip at a more affordable price

Blackcircles constantly offer excellent deals across a range of different tyre sizes, so please check our latest tyre deals on our Special Offers page. Do you know that on some vehicles it is possible to fit a different brand of tyre from what is currently on the car, you may find a different brand suits your budget and driving style better – so it’s always worth investigating. However some vehicle manufacturers do recommend that you keep the same brand of tyres that originally came on the vehicle as they have worked with the tyre manufacturers to develop vehicle specific fitments to improve the vehicle’s performance.

If you are at all unsure whether you can change brand, please call our customer service team on 0845 200 0022 who will be able to let you know whether there are any alternative brands for your vehicle.
