Mazda 6 Wagon Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 given 82% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 40000 spirited miles
I used these tires for 40 000 km on a Mazda 6 GJ with sporty driving. My car has a set of coilovers and I have dialed in a bit too much toe on the front and it wore out the front tires prematurely, so the 40 000 km would be about 60 000 on a normal suspension setup. That said the tires had a much better lateral grip than lngitudinal grip both in the dry and the wet. Yet they were still much better than the Radar tires the car came with. They had good grip in the snow too for all season tires.
The tires are good, but with this much toe the car suffered a lot in the snow with the tires fighting each other. I changed to a set of dedicated winter tires. The only downside was the aqua and snow planing speeds were greatly reduced as the tires started to wear and the ice grip got much worse after the first summer.

Driving on mostly motorways for 15800 easy going miles
I already wrote a review shortly after I bought these tires. Then I was quite positive. Sadly my opinion changed, and not for the good.
First things first. From the beginning I had some vibration problems. Especially at speeds around 60 km/h I experienced a wobble in the steering. I moved the front tires to the rear vise versa, that was a bit better but the vibration was irritating. Recently I went to a tire shop for road force balancing my rears. The force was very high, but after rotating the tires on the rims most of the vibration has gone. I’ve never had this issue with any other types of tires.
Another thing I dislike very much are the grip levels. Especially in the lateral direction on a wet road it is quite bad. But also in a longitudinal direction. One time I had to do an emergency stop, and I really was shocked about the braking distance necessary.
Grip levels in dry conditions are okayish. Same in winter conditions with some snow.
Stability straight ahead could be better. Many little steering corrections are necessary all the time. This is a bit tiring.
The comfort level is good, the tires don’t produce a lot of noise. Wear also seems to be okay.
They are cheap, but I would not buy them again.

Writing about the Continental EcoContact 6 given 73% (225-55-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 average miles
It's not a bad tyre performance wise, very good grip on corners at high speeds on country highway, wet grip is mediocre, when starting from an uphill traffic light, it skids easily. And the tread durability is very concerning. It came with only 6.5mm tread new and with only 7000km on those tyres they have shown very obvious wear. I probably won't buy them again as I drive a lot and these have bad durability, however if you don't drive a lot it's a decent performing tyre.

Writing about the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 given 66% (225-55-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 average miles
TLDR: perfomance decline after just 2 seasons!

Driving in Finland, I bought a set of these based on the stellar reviews. For 2 seasons it was great. Especially in the snow and on white ice. Black ice performance was ok, but not great. Average in the dry and wet (to be expected).
During the 3rd season the performance declined significantly. I got stuck in downtown Helsinki on a snowy icy patch of tarmac while parking, other cars(regular 2wd) left the same spot even on studless tires without issues. Even the slightest icing / slush on the roads were too much. I lost confidence in the tire, I reported it to Nokian and they took the tires for inspection after the 3rd season. Without doing any tests they sent it back and said it was all ok. Never buying a Nokian again, it seems the lifetime of these tires is 2 seasons, even when there is plenty of tread remaining.

Writing about the Yokohama BluEarth GT AE51 given 84% (225-45-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 36000 average miles
This is the best touring tires I have had! It grips well on the dry & wet. Aquaplaning is acceptable IMO. It's treadwear is simply long lasting and even though I'm already over 55K KM, the noise level is still very acceptable!

Writing about the Toyo Proxes Sport given 73% (225-45-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
due to budget, replace this with the worn PS4S. PS4S still the better than this in overall, but with the price point of this Proxes Sport, i am happy with it. dry grip can handle the mild driving at the wavy road. while wet grip is good enough for slightly beyond speed limit on motorway. the Proxes Sport is soft, and even handling part also as soft as you can't really feel any thing. so far approx 5000 miles (8000km), the wear looking good, still have plenty of tread there. overall comfort, i am satisfied with the performance considered the price point.

Writing about the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 given 82% (235-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 15000 spirited miles
Very two faced tyres. They have really good lateral grip and amazing feel both wet and dry, but the longitudinal grip is not very good, especially braking. When the tyres were new I honestly believed that my car had some abs problem, because it engaged so early. It was literally much worse than the Radar Dimax tyres it replaced. The car felt loose and uncertain. This was probably due to having the wrong size rims for the tyres 6,5 inch wide. So I have refitted to a 7,5 inch wide rims which solved the loose feeling but the longitudinal grip is still not as good as I expected. On dry roads my 2.0 liter Mazda can spin a tyre in 1st gear even from a rolling start. Interestingly the wet grip is almost the same as the dry. Also fuel consumption is not the best. In snow it is OK, but it really struggles with slush and has almost no longitudinal traction on wet ice, which is strange as lateral grip is miles better. I have been using it for 15 000 km and it has very good tread depth. If it goes like this it will past 60 000 km before it wears down, although I ude it mostly on country roads and highways.

Driving on mostly town for 3000 average miles
Bought two brand new in September of 2021 for the front wheels. The right tire died on me after 5 months, possibly from spending about 10 minutes stuck in snow and ice, trying to reverse up an unpaved driveway. I was shocked at the lack of grip given I was reversing and most of the weight is over the front wheels. There was quite a bit of snow and ice. The next day I discovered the tire was completely flat.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta PS31 given 84% (225-45-18-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 22000 average miles
Kumho PS31 were good on dry as well as in wet conditions. I drove 35 000 km's and there are less than 2,5 mm's left. I drove a bit more with Nankang's I used to have. When Kumho's became worn out they were really noisy which definitely reduces the comfort aspect. Even they were worn they did they job. I was happy with them and I would recommend these for normal use

Driving on a combination of roads for 30 average miles
These tyres came on my factory new 2017 Mazda6 wagon. They performed quite well, with moderate road noise. Rotated every 10,000kms regularly. Achieved 50,000 KMs (30,000 miles). Probably would have got a bit more distance if I'd had a couple of wheel alignments. Replaced recently with Continental MC6's.

Writing about the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 given 86% (205-55-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 25 spirited miles
Bought a set of Gen 2s 2 years ago. Done about 25k miles on them. Had them rotated 3 times. Have driven in blistering heat, freezing temperatures and torrential rain. They have always felt well planted and feedback from the tryes has been good. I have used them on motorways, welsh A and B roads, grass and mud but never got the chance to try them in the snow and ice which is the main reason I got them. Maybe this year as I am going to fit some Gen3s in a few weeks. What I will say is this is the first set of tyres where I have NEVER picked up a puncture. Whether I have just been lucky or the different tread design from normal road tyres with radial groves has been a factor, I don't know. Thoroughly recommend these.
