    Tire recommendations needed for 2016.5 CX-5 GT AWD

    Perhaps that is just a function of your local DT for a good customer? The paperwork on my tires is confusing at best. In one case it lists under "Limited Warranties" the "New Tires - Mileage Warranty" the pro-rata pricing adjustment that you mention. Then further below, still under the "Limited...

    Tire recommendations needed for 2016.5 CX-5 GT AWD

    2 issues I have with your plan. First, the Yokohama warranty is only for 60 months from purchase - I'm way past that. And second, the young kids they have working at my local discount tire are not very careful with the wheels, so I don't like going there. I'm having the tires delivered to my...

    Tire recommendations needed for 2016.5 CX-5 GT AWD

    I just ordered these from Tire Rack yesterday. After they are installed, I'll follow up with some initial impressions. My current 19" tires are Yokohama 740 GTX (from Discount Tire) that I installed in 2016. After about 50K miles, they are down to about 3-4/32nds and they have been noisy for a...

    NGK Spark Plug ILKAR7L11 long term usage

    I installed the NGK plugs about 5 years ago. I have put on over 55K miles since then with zero issues. When it's time, I'll use them again. As an aside, the "NGK Spark Plug Company" has officially changed its name (as of 3/31/23) to "Niterra". In case you didn't know, they manufacture spark...

    Best way to warm engine in morning when colder temp [0-31°F]

    Minnesota here, gets way colder here than where you are. I just get in, start it up, buckle up and go; fastest way to heat it up. Never had any issues or problems. Runs great after 90K+ miles and 9 winters.

    I bought these. They work great and a bit more secure than regular screws. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174325933841?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

    2013~2016 Skyactiv Spark Plug Question

    That's up to you. I went the NKG route and can tell absolutely no difference from the originals. That was 20K miles ago.

    2013 CX-5 Traction, Tire Pressure, Check Engine Light, Trouble Running

    That's what cleared up my issues on my '14, but that was quite a while ago. MAFs were an issue on some Gen1's.

    Lightweight AGM or Lithium battery in Cold Weather daily driver?

    I live in a cold climate - Minnesota. When my original battery needed replacement, I went with AGM. It didn't really last very long and it was expensive. So now I'm back to a "regular" battery from Walmart. The Everstart Max is 640cca, 38.2 pounds, $108.76 + tax, 3 year replacement warranty. It...

    Here's a good Mazda parts department for factory wheels

    I believe that the OP has a turbo model. As we've seen in other posts, the supplied spare doesn't fit over the larger front brakes and thus must be installed only on the rear. So if the flat is on the front, then a double change is needed. A matching OEM rim makes sense in that regard.
