    They are near factory spec which is valved for a factory ride, not the weight of the car. I have them and they work great. I have about 20k on them now and they are great.

    exactly. If your not driving hard 100 percent of the time, look elsewhere compared to the pilots. they wear quickly. Every set I have owned were not a long lasting tire.

    Well, HID replacement and upgrade is done....FINALLY!

    55w is only on high beam, so no matter what you have in, you will have pissed drivers if you leave them on. I have talked to many people and they all agreed that the 55w HID is fine in high beam. I am also installing an LED light bar for nighttime. I care less about pissed off drivers as...

    Is there a REAL skid plate available somewhere for the Mazda5?

    What is the corksport made out of? Maybe I can take the stock one, and add some length to it to protect the bottom of the rig? I have a plasma cutter, and waiting on my CNC plasma machine.

    2015 mazda5 sport $18630 or Touring $19968

    Congrats and welcome to the family. We are still in love with our 5 even after 8 years of ownership. It is the longest I have ever owned anything mechanical. Usually Cars last 1 to 2 years with me. But the 5 is so good and versatile that its a keeper until it dies.
