Finding the best tires for your
Mazda3 Hatchback
will come down to various factors, like what driving conditions are typical for you and how much you want to spend. One of the most important factors will be tire size.
Your Mazda3 Hatchback’s owner’s manual should specify what size tires you need. As an example, the tire size of a 2018 Mazda3 Hatchback Sport is P205/60R16. Here’s a breakdown of what that means:
  • The P means the tire is for passenger vehicles.
  • The 205 means the tire is 205 millimeters wide.
  • The 60 means the tire’s height is 60% of its width.
  • The R means the tire’s inner layers lie radially.
  • The 16 refers to its 16-inch diameter
Additionally, pay attention to a tire’s speed rating and load index to make sure they’ll be compatible with your Mazda3 Hatchback.
Finally, here are a few different tire types to consider for your Mazda3 Hatchback:
  • All-season car tires: All-season tires are designed to have better traction for reliable handling year-round.
  • Winter/snow car tires: You can swap your summer tires for these as fall and winter move in to prepare for winter driving conditions.
  • Ultra-high performance (UHP) tires: Some UHP tires are designed for year-round use, while others are only for warm seasons. These tires can help improve traction and overall handling, but the tread on UHP tires may wear faster than some all-season tires.
If your Mazda3 Hatchback’s current
car insurance
policy isn’t gaining much traction, it’s probably time to replace it. With the
