Noise!
I hated the Bridgestones that mine came with. At 60 000km, I replaced them with Yokohama Geolander G900s, and am much happier. They're a lot quieter, and that's not the first time I've had noisty Bridgestones.

I cannot wear the Bridgestones out fast enough, but as they wear they will get even noisier and the ride even harsher. I am tempted to fit new tyres long before then and sell the Bridgestones on eBay.
The fact that the face-lifted CX-3 has extra sound deadening proves that Mazda was aware of the noise issue affecting the original version.

It's generally accepted that the car suffers from an over firm ride with any road surface noise coming straight into the cabin. I find the 2.0 auto not so bad and as my daily drive is on major roads I don't suffer so much. My only change being to reduce the tyre pressures by a couple of psi which has helped. Having fitted sound proofing to a previous car it's certainly a route I would go down if it becames an issue.

For me 30psi (F&R) seems to work best.
