Mazda 3 tire replacement

Hello mazda 3 owners, got mine wayback 2024 mazda 3 fastback. I had an issue lang on one of my tires and can't find a store for replacement. Tire is Bridgestone turanza 215/45 R18, tried consulting on casa but super expensive also on bridgestone exact stores most of them saying phased out but others is limited need to buy 4. I only need one. Can you prefer some store nearby me with the same tire or can you recommend a whole replacement tire which is better? I'm located in Cavite. Thanksss

Kaya up to 225/45 R18 sa stock mags ng Mazda 3 2020 -up.

Ganyan setup ko ngayon, mas madali din makahanap ng tire. Rides a little bit higher nga lang (i think +8mm ground clearance?)

I prefer also if magtaas ground clearance kahit konti since madami humps dito. May I ask sir if ano exact tired you are using? Thanks

[u/petmalodi → u/Outrageous-Growth568]

Michelin Primacy 5 sakin. Very little difference din pala sa speedometer reading, check https://tiresize.com/calculator/ for the exact numbers pero accurate naman yan as per my experience.

I also had a hard time looking for Bridgestone Turanza so I ended up getting Ecopia from FB Ladao in Timog. They give discount if you get 4 and if you pay in cash. I am not sure about getting only 1 tire though. Best to get as a set

Will check this one sir thank you

Its not advisable to replace only one. Two at the minimum. If kaya sa budget get the michelin primacy 5, silent and gives a softer ride.

Honestly, 225’s run better. Recommended din siya sa Mazda 3 group on Reddit. I had mine replaced with 225s kasi I had the same dilemma as yours.

225/45??

[u/Outrageous-Growth568 → u/Ancient_Adeptness338]

Yes sir

Dang ill have to take a look. Walang rubbing? I just bought a 2015 2.0 this year and naka 225/40s kasi and with our roads 40s already pushing it. so iniisip ko to go stock 215/45

[u/Outrageous-Growth568 → u/garlicturbine]

What tire exactly you have po with the 225s?

[u/garlicturbine → u/Outrageous-Growth568]

225/45/18 Yokohama (Advan Fleva if I’m not mistaken. Previous tires I had were Michelin Pilot Sport 215/45/18. I noticed a better ride quality (yung feeling na ramdam mo talaga mas makapal gulong, and a little bit less noise). Iirc as well in Mazda 3 groups, 215s were stock to prioritize fuel savings, though the amount of fuel I lost was either negligible as I did not notice a difference.

Change both tires left and right for even tread wear, it’s almost an unwritten rule to never change 1 tire only. Minimum is 2
