    Question about replacing one tire

    No, none at all. I had it put on the rear. I kept it in hopes of not having to buy a new tire next time I get a sidewall nail. But I don't have as sensitive a butt as many posters here...I can't reallly tell the difference between tires much, and always thought the OEM Toyos were just fine...

    Question about replacing one tire

    I agree, found it weird myself. The OEMs were at 9/32 after 22k of driving, and the replacement is at 8/32 after less than 10k of driving. The new Pirellis started at 11/32.

    Question about replacing one tire

    I also have a 2020 Sig., and had an unrepairable sidewall nail in one of the Toyos at 22,300 miles. Stopped at a tire shop, they pushed to sell me all 4! Another said get 2. My other 3 OEM tires had 9/32" at the time. I then went to a Mazda dealer, they said I was fine buying just one, so I...

    Best color, for sure. At least in my spouse's opinion. I still like Soul Red a bit more, but guess which color we bought... yep. Enjoy yer new ride!!!

    Hit A Curb With Our New 2024 CX-5 :(

    I would move it to the back. Your car is now broken in, and you can stop parking in the far back of the lots! ☺️ (if it were me, I'd just have alignment done whenever you replace the tires)

    CX-5 Accessory must haves?

    The first thing I buy when I get a new car is a set of cheapie fisheye spot mirrors from WalMart. Stick them on outer lower area of each side mirror. However, I think I will quit those, as the 360 camera pretty much obviates the need...

    Average MPG less than 20mpg, am I alone?

    I have tracked all of my gas purchases for 50 years. For my 2020 Sig, these are the calculated MsPG for each year of ownership, since purchased new in June 2020: 2020: 25.04 (partial yr., covid, drove little) 2021: 25.37 2022: 25.7 2023 (YTD): 26.13. I retired in late 2021, started...

    Anyone's CX-5 just can't stay out of the body shop?

    Yow, I feel for those with these tales of woe. My insurance just went up 30%, and I've had no citations or claims! My 2020 Sig w/30k miles was hit lightly with hail recently, 4-5 very small dents, not enough for me to fix it or file a claim. Now that 3 yrs have passed (and warranty expired)...

    Tire recommendations needed for 2016.5 CX-5 GT AWD

    How odd...my OEM Toyos, removed today, had 5/32 on them, after just under 32k miles. Anyhoo, you got a lot better deal on your Pirellis than did I!

    Tire recommendations needed for 2016.5 CX-5 GT AWD

    I had 4 Scorpions mounted today at Sam's Club. My OEM Toyos were cupping, so I went to my dealer immediately afterward for a 4-wheel alignment. I can't say I noticed a big difference between the old and new in my short amount of driving today, except that on the freeway the Pirellis were much...

    Costco Interstate Batteries - Standard or AGM?

    Had a new battery (Duracell, I believe) put in my 2020 while at Sam's today. $140, but they installed it for free. Costco by me (MN) is now $120 for their group 35 Interstate. I didn't lose any settings for anything. Sam's offered me the AGM, so I presume they were in stock. As I wasn't...

    Airbag light, nice Mazda dealer experience

    Had my car in for a dealer oil change (got some free ones as part of new-car purchase) in late May, and ON THE DRIVE HOME my airbag light started flashing, twice followed by once, repeating after 5 seconds. I texted my service advisor, and he of course said to bring it in if it kept going...

    Air Filter for CX-5 2.5T motor?

    This was back in 10/22, but I purchased a two-pack of STP SA12167 from Autozone online. I was also confused by/didn't trust what I was finding on Amazon at the time. $34.98 before sales tax. Somehow I got free shipping, and a $5 discount off the retail 39.98. Fit my 2020 Signature fine, and...
