I've just gone for 4 Continentals on my 2015 Nav Sport AWD as the original Freyos had perished from lack of use in lockdown. I am very happy to find them much quieter than the originals. If you have a 2 litre engine I wouldn't want to trust an £80 tyre.
Mazda paint is crap! Mazda should be ashamed of themselves!.
I have the AWD and I’ve just replaced the front tyres due to a puncture but I didn’t replace the back as I didn’t know I was meant to to be honest. The garage where i had them fitted said the back were in great shape but would he have realised it was the AWD as I didn’t mention it. The tyres are 4 1/2 yrs old on the back. Should i have replaced all 4 of them then?

I shouldn't have thought you needed to. AWD is a bit of a misnomer; it means the car provides power to all 4 wheels only when wheel slip is sensed.
If your rears are in good condition and not cracked or perished, save your money.
