The only rub I get is at steering lock on the inner fender. I've had a 300 lb giant of a man in the second row and done some spirited driving over rough roads and they don't touch on the outside. The wheels came with these tires and had enough tread to get me through to fall. When I replace them it will be with 225/40 most likely. I may try 235/40 but I won't be doing 245/40. Thanks for the compliment hibern8r. I've been very pleased with my little red "sport".
What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

HALLELUJAH PRAISE DA LAWD!Miata is ALWAYS the right answer!!!
But the NC due for a MAJOR (anticipating revolutionary) redesign, to be release next year!? I would have suggested waiting for fall clearance -if you like the current car. The NBs (even Mazdaspeed) were on crazy sales before the NC rolled out.Indelibility

Well, we got an '06 with 31k miles for a really good deal. Much cheaper than 30 grand for a new Grand Touring MX-5.

Ok. I though you were aiming to get new for some reason.
Btw, it's "MX-5 Miata". Miata owners fought Mazda to keep the Miata moniker, please keep it alive!

Well I am officially poorer, but soon to be faster. Just swiped the credit card for a shiny new GT2871R.
i leave for a bit and you go craaazy lol Excellent choice! Exciting things goin on in our humble lil soccer dad forum
That's pretty sick dude.
Hardwired a Papago GoSafe WiFi dash cam into the car. It's wired into ignition and automatically turns on when the car is running.
I love these hard wire USB adapters from EDOTECH
From the driver's seat. I'll eventually clean this up when I get a Gentex homelink mirror.
That's also pretty sick dude.
Got the vinyl cargo area cover today. Just wished I had black leather seats instead of tan cloth.
That's kinda sick dude. Only because i also have one and yeah, it's priceless. That and the all-weather mats.
hmm... I think I need this.. w/ the anal blow-outs these days... what's the cheapest place for a '12+?

My local dealership price matched Park Mazda OEM parts, which was the cheapest I found.
I figured the vinyl would be better as a baby changing station. We're past the blow out stage, fortunately.
I also picked up the all weather floor mats, just no pictures.

Holy s***, thats a hell of a mark up for the 2012+ models! I remember I paid under $50 for mine. Its double the price, that is BS. http://www.jimellismazdaparts.com/p...&ukey_driveline=0&isOnSale=0&searchTerm=liner
There appear to be some differences but thats still a big jump in price for minor differences. 0000-8K-L06 if that link doesn't work.
Found it for $39 http://www.buyourmazdaparts.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=228

Tuanies, the cargo liner and all weather mats were an essential buy when I got my 08 two years ago. I was looking at the current model brochure today and saw something interesting on that cargo liner you may be able to confirm. Is there a flap that folds out to cover the bumper say when you might load something that could scratch it? If that is the case, I could see why the price went up, but almost double? That would be a nice feature though.
