yep it does work. Bought a set of 4 18" cx-7 rims off ebay really cheap and put on Blizzak P235/65QR-18 DM-Z3 from tire rack. Note: the tpms cost me nearly as much as the rims.

I have had terrible experiences with the oem duelers in the snow. I go skiing in vermont every other weekend and the first year I took my 9 without snows the car slid every which way. Decided to put on Blizzak DM-Z3 on all 4 wheels and noticed much better traction. Keep in mind, you are...

one of the reasons to change out the OEMs is that they have a high rate leaking oil. On my 9, the driver's side rear shock started leaking oil with less than 20k highway miles. Guess what.... Shocks are not covered under the mazda warranty.

see attached. leveling switch on the far left of dash

need to replace my rear shocks and need to access the top of the shocks from inside the cargo area. How do I remove the interior cargo area side panels on the driver and passenger side?

bring it back to the dealer to be fixed. Brought mine in and it was fixed under warranty. as previous post noted, it's a known problem.

any updates or pics?

figured it out! looks like the knuckle head who rotated my tires forgot to tighten the front driver's side lug nuts. Once I tightened them, no more sounds.

I don't think it's the tires. I have new pirelli scorpions with 1k miles on them and I have the low air sensors. The low speed sound is always present not just in the morning. I appreciate your feedback

My CX-9 awd recently started to make a low whoosh, whoosh, sound at low cruising speeds. The noise is most noticeable at 30mph and comes from the front somewhere. The sound goes away when I step on the breaks or accelerate. I thought it might be warped rotors, but I don't notice any...

Grinch what did the aftermarket auto locking cost you to have installed?

on my AWD GT I have blizzaks on 17" cx-7 rims. I've been back and fourth to my ski house in vermont and have had no issues. Really solid traction.

worked out better than I hoped. took the blown out tire/wheel to a local dealer (different place than where I bought my 9) and the mgr of the repair dept got the approval for the full cost of the blown dueler tire $260. After I got the approval, the mgr ordered a pair of Scorpion STRs to...

My wife drove through a pot hole and blew out one of the tires on the sidewall. The follies of having 20" rims. I will call the extended protection people tomorrow and see what the process is to get a new tire or compensated for one. The rim doesn't look damaged though. Anyone know what the...

I accept the fact that digital clocks will lose minutes over time, but a minute a week is just piss poor. Everyone, not just me has countless digital clocks at home (microwaves, stoves, tv's, clock radios, watches) and in their cars (how many cars have you owned) etc... and I NEVER had to...
