    2026 Mazda CX-5 Configurator Preview

    Well, there’s one on the Portuguese site… but they don’t actually show you the color, yet.

    CX-9 Spare Tire Questions

    I’m confused - did you lose a tire, and you’re looking for a long-term spare option? Both your summer and winter tires are smaller than a 2007-2015 CX-9’s tires, and the 2016-2023 CX-9’s tires are bigger still.

    2026 Mazda CX-5 Configurator Preview

    Black, two whites, three grays, and Soul Red. VW did that a few years ago. Thankfully they walked away from it.

    Year 2 CX-90 changes?

    That's what I'm seeing on the configurator, but it also shows the Turbo S Premium Sport on the exterior view, so I'm not confident they're done with the updates, yet.

    Rally Spec Mazda CX-60

    Let's see if the market ever comes back around to having strong demand for sedans. Even something like the Toyota Crown would be pretty cool to see.

    Rally Spec Mazda CX-60

    I used to think I wanted a CX-60. Now I’m sure I need a CX-60.

    Tire recommendations for the CX-90 PHEV?

    If somebody from Continental is watching this thread, I'm a little creeped out, but also flattered. The DWS 06+ is now available in 255/55R20.

    How to change CX-9 Key Fob battery?

    Pro tip: the teeth of the physical key are just the right width to fit in the groove that runs around the edge of your fob. The key makes a pretty excellent prying tool.

    Cannot use the front day lights?

    Get over your fear. The LEDs aren’t going to burn out like a halogen bulb.

    Year 2 CX-90 changes?

    Don’t expect much. A mid-cycle refresh in year three of a clean-sheet model is practically unheard of.

    Horrible gas mileage in brand new CX-5

    400 km is pretty close to what I get on an ‘indicated’ tank in mixed driving. My CX-5 leaves ~11 L of buffer when the low fuel light comes on.

    Do you have a rough idle condition? Any odd conditions when you change the oil?

    Tires needed at 25K miles (replaced w/ Michelin Defender LTX M/S)

    Sounds like they came from Comcast, circa 2010.

    New 2025 CX-5 with highway vibration problem; tires?

    Great that you’re already doing your homework. Two of Tire Rack’s top performers in the wet are available in 225/65R17 - the CrossContact LX25 and the Geolandar CV G058 (sorry if you’re gun-shy about Yokohamas, but they’re apparently pretty great tires). Those are on my short list of...

    New 2025 CX-5 with highway vibration problem; tires?

    Crap… I got so hung up on your questions about the Yokohamas, I ignored the rest of your post. Are you mostly concerned about spring/summer storm chasing? Are you open to using dedicated winter tires? Is off-road capability going to be a concern?

    New 2025 CX-5 with highway vibration problem; tires?

    I’m not sure if all Geolandar G91As have been OE tires, but I know that I had them as OE on a 2007 RAV4 - one of those bad Tire Rack reviews is mine. You can’t really say anything about a replacement model of a tire when the same brand (including model and sub-model) gets used by an OEM and is...

    Hard wear on edge of tire

    Toe-out will cause the contact patch to get pulled outboard. The inboard edge ends up in a constant slip condition.

    Hard wear on edge of tire

    I’ve got to think that much toe-out to cause that wear pattern would make the steering ungodly sluggish.

    A Purist’s Perspective - One Day with the 2024 Mazda CX-5 Signature Turbo

    That might shift the CG rearward by a millimeter. It’s not going to be significantly different than stock.
