    2017 CX-5 Spare Tire Mod for U.S.

    I ended up purchasing a Kia spare as well. Actually, it is off a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe but it has the Kumho 165/90r17 tire. I did a test mount and verified that the Kia/Hyundai spare fits perfectly on the 2017 CX-5. To store the spare in the well required a couple of mods. First, the hold down...

    Tire dilemma - 2016 CX-5 GT

    You are entitled to your opinions. However if you google "new tires front or rear", almost all tire manufacturers, retailers, tire experts, etc say new or best tires belong on the rear! Take a look at tirerack.com and here is Consumer Reports take...

    Tire dilemma - 2016 CX-5 GT

    Your recommendation differs from this post which says that you can mount the 245/50R19 on the standard 19x7 rim: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123841230-CX-5-Tire-Fitments Also, if you are only replacing two tires, you generally want the new tires on the REAR. This is even more...

    Tire dilemma - 2016 CX-5 GT

    If it was my car, I would replace TWO tires and buy a pair of highly rated tires for mounting on the rear. Look at tirerack reviews. Also, if you are going to use non-OEM sizes, make sure you pay attention to tire diameters otherwise, you will have speedometer error. For example 235/55R19 will...

    2017 Clunky suspension.

    If you hear clicking when turning, it could be CV axles. Look under car and inspect the CV rubber boots. Is it possible that they got torn driving over debris or rough terrain? Clunking in the rear could be loose spare tire or something in the spare tire well rolling around. Good luck.

    Good on the center bore and bolt pattern. What about offset? Did you try putting the spare on your CX-5 to verify fit?

    Is there a trick so my phone gps will still work when set to bluetooth in car?

    Same problem with my 2017. Phone audio comes through Bluetooth. GPS audio, music, etc do not. There are other threads that talk about this problem. I'm hoping Mazda fixes it when the Android Auto-Apple Car Play becomes available.

    Should I pull the trigger - is this a good price??

    I'm confused. The CX-5 has never shipped in the US with a turbo engine so how did you end up with a failed turbo? Also, my other car is a BMW and its AC compressor failed at 36K. AC compressor lasting 84K miles is not unreasonable. Asking Mazda to pay for it so far after warranty expired is...

    I have this issue with my 2017 CX-5 and reported it in the other thread "Bluetooth Audio Issues". I hope that Mazda is aware of this bug.
