I could care less about the tread, gas savings... mostly because the difference is miniscule, if any.

I mainly like having the package because it's seems to have reduced my TPMS's reaction to cold weather and the screaming alarm only seems to go off when it's severely cold. Plus, I have only had to think about air pressure when I get my oil changed, since I get my tires rotated and inflated when I bring my car in. (apx every 3 mos, even with synthetic... I drive a lot of miles) If your Mazda dealership does it, it's a small one-time fee and they never charge you for it again. I think Costco and many other tire providers offer such a service with no charges.
