What tires does the Axela use?
2 Answers
The Axela uses Goodyear tires with a size of 205/60R16 and Yokohama tires with a size of 215/45R18. The Axela is a compact sedan launched by Mazda, with dimensions of 4662mm in length, 1797mm in width, and 1445mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2726mm. In terms of appearance, the Axela adopts Mazda's family-style design concept, featuring a large front grille that enhances the car's sporty look. In terms of configuration, the Axela has added a remote start system, allowing users to remotely start the vehicle, schedule a start, remotely lock/unlock the doors, open/close the trunk, control window operations, and locate the car, among eleven functions, via a mobile app.
When I bought my Mazda3 (Axela), it came with factory-fitted Bridgestone Turanza tires in size 205/55 R17. After driving for over two years, I found them quite durable with good grip on city roads and minimal slipping in rainy conditions, though they're a bit noisy. I regularly check the tire pressure myself, maintaining it around 2.3 bar, and use a tread depth gauge monthly to prevent highway issues. Following the manual's maintenance recommendations is advised. Switching to Michelin tires would make for a quieter ride. The original design prioritizes fuel efficiency and comfort, typically lasting 40,000-50,000 km, but regular tire rotation at the shop is essential to extend lifespan and prevent uneven wear affecting handling.
