I have some Goodyear (I know, forgive me they were on the car when I bought it) tires on my Mazda 6. What should I buy in place of these pieces of trash? I feel every bump on the road anyway.

Cooper Tires, been running them for decades on my cars and trucks. All of our company trucks run them too.

They are economical, better and cheaper than Nittos or Michelins or other tires I've used over the many years. I have always gotten great mileage from them and they run quiet on every vehicle from cars to 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks.

Best tire I've ever found.

For a Mazda 6 I personally would recommend the Pirelli P-Zero All Season. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S are equally good performers as well but they start getting loud after about half of their stated lifespan. Continental makes exceptional perfomance tires if you're not concerned about noise or lifespan. Toyo and Yokohama both make some pretty good tires too for the more budget-minded driver.

Michelin Pilot Sport are great for people that don't want a soft ride. Where is Barack with a review of his favorite hard ride?

Yep, I would love to use Pilot Sports if they were just a little better value. I also had a set of Pirelli P7 Cinturatos. 70k miles tires, 90% of what the P-Zero (25k good miles, then they started getting loud) could do in the twisties, a little cheaper, very quiet. My commuting car had the P7s and my weekend touring car had P-Zeros. It worked well since those tires handle very similarly.

Stuck with OEM Continental run-flats now... dammit. I've been trying to kill them so I have an actual excuse to get the tires I actually want.

Cooper or Uniroyal.

I echo everyone saying Cooper. I have a sweet set of Cobras on my '66 Mustang. A perfect match design and name wise.

Anything midrange. I don't know really because I usually buy performance/drag radials or truck tires.
