    Can I use CX-9 winter wheels on a CX-90?

    Sorry- typo. I meant 245/40R19. Exact same sidewall height as your stock tires. But if you want something taller, a 245/50R17 would be it.

    Can I use CX-9 winter wheels on a CX-90?

    I’d think a 225/40R19 would be perfect for a summer option.

    82,000 Miles, first brake job

    117,000 miles. I took it in for state inspection - the shop told me that technically they could have passed me, but I'd be needing brakes by the time the next inspection was due.

    Interchangeable Wheels?

    Look at any tire listing on Tire Rack - almost all of them publish revs per mile. And that site’s numbers are way off. OE tires on a CX-5 have a rating of about 724 - they give a number closer to 700. Same for a CX-90’s tires, where they say about 650, and the real number is about 670. They’re...

    Interchangeable Wheels?

    This always gets stated, but there’s a far simpler and more accurate measure that will give you speedometer error. Practically every tire on the market will give you a revs per mile rating. If you want to know how much a tire will throw off your speedometer, just divide the revs per mile of your...

    Interchangeable Wheels?

    I rescind my previous statement of reservation. Tire Rack will sell you a 22 x 10" wheel with a 42 mm offset. That's 182 mm / 7.17" backspacing, or another 1/8" more than what you'd have with the CX-70 wheel.

    Interchangeable Wheels?

    My biggest concern is that the CX-70 has a 9.5” wide wheel with a 45 mm offset. That’s going to give you about 179 mm / 7.05” of wheel backspacing. I’m not familiar with how much kingpin clearance the CX-9 has, but I’d bet that the CX-70 wheels are going to test it.

    Horrible gas mileage in brand new CX-5

    Don’t even try paying attention to the mileage indication on the instrument cluster. It should come with a disclaimer saying “for estimation and entertainment purposes only”.

    CX-9 Spare Tire Questions

    The spare may indeed be the same size as a 235/65R17, but that doesn’t mean you want to run one wheel with that much of a size mismatch long-term. Are you outside North America? I’m just wondering if your OE tires are actually smaller than what we got in those years.

    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.
