So the issue with the Mazda 3 is that it feels sort of unstable on the freeway. I don't really notice it so much, but she does, as an intermitent issue. I think it's just when it's windy. Her dad did some searching and said the same thing I suspected, the OEM tires are crap. I even tried inflating them 4 PSI more than the door jam recommends, should I try more?

So she's thinking of keeping it since her Dad and I both keep telling her what a waste of money selling a car you bought new, so early is. She drove it home from the Bay Area yesterday and said she loved it.

I'm thinking some Falken Ziex ZE-912's would work well as an all year tire for her. Thoughts?

Would my Enkei RP02 17X7.5's (5X100) fit her car?

Any good Mazda 3 forums out there?
