Would the CX-5 2008-2015 rims/wheels the same as Miata?

So those wheels transform the Van into a Car like feel! Anything you could elaborate?

em, you are saying that with 17" Miata wheels. Paired with a set of 215/50-17, it will feel like a car? Anything else? Appreciate if you could expand on this?

So 205/50 R16 87V instead of 205/55 R16 gives better acceleration?

After hitting the Curb, I took the car for alignment check. He said all were green and the car runs fine. There was a minor adjustment needed. So no alignment issue - slow speed as I was turning left. But tire instantly became flat! Was the tire defective?

Thank you @LDB415 In that emergency, 400 miles away from home, I found one used 2016 Michelin Premier A/S tire (Mastercraft is also 2016). With this one tire installed, M5 was braking better - how? In terms of brake, I done the service by Fluid exchange and changing the rear rotor/pad before...

My car is Mazda 5 (not CX-30). I remember reading in this forum that braking is not great on this car? Separately, M5 owners had swapped the wheels from MazdaSpeed - some have even used brake calipers too.

Which year Miata rims work for 2013 M5?

Should I be using performance tires to decrease braking distance? I hear that this car takes longer to brake? Other thing might be using slotted rotors on the front?

2013 Sport around 3k/year on freeway! 205/55/R16 When I bought it used, it came with 4 MasterCraft - tires made in 2016. I was making turn when the GPS started falling - I oversteered and hit the curb - the driver side front tire was instantly flat due to damage on the sidewall. In my entire...

Thanks but what's the point? Is this a second oil filter? Need an intro.

Amsoil is likely superior to Redline: <https://www.amsoil.com/p/oe-multi-vehicle-synthetic-automatic-transmission-fluid-otf/> Twice as expensive: <https://www.amsoil.com/p/signature-series-multi-vehicle-synthetic-automatic-transmission-fluid-atf/> Amsoil is the best. I am not at all connected...

@Vasy, you are like veteran here whereas I am a novice. The process of adding the cooler is fun for you but worried if I might create new problems if I tried to do it! My question is what is the key benefit out of cooler - does it keep the temp down or it filters the oil? If its temp issue, I...

I know the two alternatives from Valvoline (semi syn?) and Castrol (regular). Are there any study compare these fluids and recommend one? I watch Scotty Kilmer's channel - I don't know if he recommends OEM tranny fluid? There is also Amsoil - I am sure they have tranny fluid - the brand is...

So which brand do u guys use for MAF and Coil pack? Is dealer part better than what you would find on RockAuto (RA)? Note: MAF sensor for my Acura is made by Denso but NGK is the popular product on RockAuto - I am puzzled.

NorCal - San Fran You are recommending warm up the car before driving off? No prob. I have been driving monthly just for the sake of warming it. It makes no sense to drain the oil - in Sept 21, I will be on freeway driving 300-400 miles and back - almost a 1k miles. I want to get some use out...

I live in California So can I reuse the oil filter if I were changing the oil? It prob has 300-600 miles on it.

Why are u replacing the Tranny filter? Because I asked the dealer again, they said they will drain & fill. No filter is replaced.

Why? I bought mine with 85k and 2yrs ago. Had the dealer flushed. They had to flush twice to get the color right! Wondering what should be my next service? Drain & fill without changing the tranny filter?

I changed engine oil a yr ago with Mobil Extended performance. I drive once a month just to maintain it, so I drove 300-600 miles only in the last 12 months I did not check engine oil color but will do so - I bet it looks brand new oil. Assuming engine oil color is not an issue, can I extend...
