    Anyone Running 245/50/19 Tires?

    Great update, thank you. We have the Continental DWS06 tires on two of our other cars and are very happy with them. Will have to look at upgrading the CX-5 when it's due.

    225/55R19 Tire Comparison Table for CX-5 GT - Many to Choose From

    I got 65,000 out of my last set of Continental Tru contact tires. They were the 225/55/19 size. When I replaced them a week ago they had between 3 and 2/32nd's left so they were pretty much worn out. They did wear evenly and all tires had the same wear. I did notice the ride was stiffer when...

    Anyone have Truecontact Tour 225/55r19 which replaced Truecontact (touring tire)

    I've got them on my 2016 GT. So far I've put 55K miles on them. right now they are at 5/32" tread so I'll probably replace them in the next 5-10K miles. I've been really happy with them. Ride quiet, good grip at least in the Houston weather (sorry no snow here) and in my opinion have worn well...

    Anyone have Continental Truecontact??

    I've got Tru Contacts on my CX-5. They've been on the car now for a little over 40,0000 miles. I think they have around 6/32" of tread left. So far I've been very happy with them. Smooth ride, quiet and handle well. Mine are wearing evenly too. I do rotate them every 7,500 to 10,000 so I'm sure...

    How long did your brake pads last?

    79,000. The rears had made 10% life left max. The fronts probably at least 30%. I drive 75% highway so that helps too.

    Oil, Carbon build up palooza!

    BMW owners with direct injection engines have been walnut blasting their valves for a few years now to clean off the deposits. I was hoping Mazda solved that issue. May not after seeing these pictures.

    Change automatic transmission fluid?

    I did a drain and fill at both 50 and 75K miles. When I hit a 100K I'll probably drop the pan and put in a new filter too. Good find!

    Brake length

    When I checked my 2016 at 60,000 miles I had better than 50% pad wear left all the way around. I do a lot of highway driving though. Plan to check them next week again. I'm getting close to 75,000 miles.

    CX-5 Battery and lights dimming/flickering - need advice

    Go to Autozone or other parts store and have them do a load test on the battery. That will tell you for sure if that's it. They will install the battery for free and it will cost less than the dealer too.
