Tire recommendation for Mazda5?
Hi. I'm new to this community, but used to own a Miata back before kids and always loved that the community there (through newsgroups at the time) was always willing to share advice.
We bought a Mazda 5 last year (love the 6 seats and great mileage), but the tires are already wearing out. Anyone have recommendations for great replacements? don't need anything sporty -- hopefully long lasting and quiet ride.

I bought some General Exclaim 215/50/17s from www.tires-easy.com and had them installed locally.
I figured I'd post some pics to show fitment just in case someone else was wanting to go with this size.
IMHO, this is the size that should have come on the car. I forgot to look at the tach to compare before/after rpms at 70mph, but I think they should be pretty close. The tire is about 1cm taller diameter than the stock one.
Back to the online tire purchase. I ordered these and recieved them in 6 days. Discount Tire wanted $598 installed, but by buying them online, I saved $146. The tires shipped to my door was $383, and it cost me $69 at Discount Tire to have them mounted and balanced (this was after a screw up on their part, it was originally $92 to have them mounted/balanced, but he gave me $23 back).
Anyway, here are some pics of the install:

I've heard the Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires are pretty good but they are about $135 TO $140
