awesome setup ! HRE wheels! $$$$$$$$$$$ no way near my budget cap, but hey you get what you pay for! again really really nice setup! :)

Wow seriously ? time you get out of your little universe you got for youself there. I must be the most stupid and incompetent driver in the world since I have winter tires with studs and AWD.....WOW...Darwin award for me on that one.

Not on mine either

Thanks Fred! (drinks)

I have the same thing, always when I back from my driveway, put it in drive and the engine just revs instead of moving forward, like the clutch is not engaging. It takes 1-2 sec and it is fine. Planning on bringing it forward at my next service. Not a huge issue, but annoying.

i will be interested in hgetting the full document once done! thanks for doing this! :)

this is just to cover the front TOW hook (the hooks are in the trunk with the spare tire, quite handy when you want to attach something on the roof like Kayaks) they are most probably used in transport to secure the car. your dealer should be able to order one for you.

I used a wood saw (the teeth were small, almost a metal saw), you can see a bit of it in step 5. To be honest, pretty much anything will do the job, the metal is not that thick, and the cut doesn't need to be that clean since it is hidden by the foot of the rails. But a good metal saw or...

Yes they have been on the Cx-5 for about 3 weeks now. As for noise, I am not sure I am a good reference, as I always had studded tires for winter (on the WRX, the Outlander and now the Cx5). They are definitevely more quiet than the Hakka 5 I had on the Outlander, especially at highway speed...

would I want more power with the same fuel economy ? Yes who would not, but honestly I think Mazda came with the best compromise possible right now, that is why I am happy or satisfied with it. I got what I wanted, fuel economy in a fun package. As technology evolves, I think they will...

read your manual, everything is there (section 5-44 if I remember.) you will need your sirius ID (12 digits) available by selecting channel 0. Call them, it takes 3-5 minutes

I pretty sure they would fit. bolt pattern is good, offset is also good for a 6.5 rim, just check the width requirements on Continental website for this 225 tire, but 6.5 should be good for 225, not ideal but good enough

great idea! the whole car matte black would be nice.

Tried it last night before my hockey game, it fits perfectly without removing the front wheel, I even kept one of the rear seat up (40-20-40, so I was 0-0-40). So you should not have any problems fitting your bike in the trunk.

I never tried, it is quite late now, I assume with the rear seats lowered it would fit (but tight fit), I will try tomorrow, I have to remove the child seats.

with just the roof rails I did not noticed any more wind noise, we all have different level of tolerance, but I think the tires make more noise than the rails if there is any. With the cross bars, yes you can hear the noise. I thought about painting mines black with Plasti Dip....maybe next...

just love that wheel setup...hope the flares become available

well it is not only for car accessories....they charge more for the whole car.... (pissed) kind of hard to explain when the dollar is at par and should stay at that level for the forseable future. They try to hide this by bringing cars here with more accessories included, but still, there is...

most probably price and availability of winter tires.....

glad to hear that, I feared I would be disapointed by the cx-5 in snow, seems not... :)
