Thanks FORZDA1 for the tip, I will give it a try tomorrow. Assuming we can confirm it is gear whine, is this something that the dealer should cover under warranty? Is it a sign of premature wear?

That's about what I would expect from Mazda based on my experiences. I will update when I get ours in but I'm sure I'll get the same answer.

Yep, sounds exactly like my issue. I need to get it into the dealer, my guess is that they will say it's normal (as they say about any issue I bring up). Let me know how you make out.

I think I have a similar issue, just haven't had a chance to get it to the dealer. Our is a 2008 GT AWD. Was you last one AWD?

My pregnant wife and 2 year old were leaving the mall the other day and found a flat passenger rear tire when they got back to the '9. I get the call.... Luckily there is a car dealer in the same parking lot and a Firestone shop just a bit further. She drove to the dealer who filled the tire up...

Yep, I was pretty much hoping to find someone needed new treads for a lease return or to sell the vehicle. Or someone taking the car where it doesn't snow would work also! I am running the Spec-X's in the +1 size, great tire so far.

Sorry, I should have put that in originally. About 2500 miles on them.

Make me a reasonable offer.

Selling a set of 4 OEM Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400's in 245/50R20. Tires are in fine shape, no issues. Would prefer local pickup in eastern MA. Best offer.

4th wire is likely the reverse lockout for the auto-dimming. The mirror I picked up has that, the Mazda OEM doesn't.

I have them, much better than the OEM tires, just got back from an errand in 4" of wet snow and everything was good. I was afraid they would look off being slightly taller but they don't (IMHO). If anything I think they fill the fender gap a bit better.

I second that any Gentex mirror will work. I got one off eBay that had auto dimming with reverse disable, homelink and hidden compass. I think it was from a late model Nissan. Just make sure if you get a used one that you get the connector with a a few inches of wire in case the pin layout isn't...

Selling a set of 4 OEM Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400's in 245/50R20. Tires are in fine shape, no issues. Would prefer local pickup in the Boston / North Shore area. Best offer.

Same here, getting them mounted tomorrow. Hint - use the found lower price link and give them Tire Rack's price. Also, supposedly.... Yoko is discontinuing this line, that is what 2 local dealers told me when they tried getting an ETA on them. Take that with a grain of salt but supposedly much...

I called around looking for the Yok's in the stock 245/50R20 size but kept hearing that they were on national backorder and that they may end up being dropped since some or most of the Parada line had already been. The 255/45R20 really needs a wider rim the the CX-9 offers and is actually off...
