    225/55R19 Tire Comparison Table for CX-5 GT - Many to Choose From

    I got 65,000 out of my last set of Continental Tru contact tires. They were the 225/55/19 size. When I replaced them a week ago they had between 3 and 2/32nd's left so they were pretty much worn out. They did wear evenly and all tires had the same wear. I did notice the ride was stiffer when...

    Anyone have Truecontact Tour 225/55r19 which replaced Truecontact (touring tire)

    I've got them on my 2016 GT. So far I've put 55K miles on them. right now they are at 5/32" tread so I'll probably replace them in the next 5-10K miles. I've been really happy with them. Ride quiet, good grip at least in the Houston weather (sorry no snow here) and in my opinion have worn well...

    Almost 300k 2016 CX-5 Grand Touring

    Wow, I thought I put on a lot of miles. My 2016 has 100K miles. I'm happy to report zero issues. Only thing I've done was change: -oil every 5K - tranny fluid at 50 and 75K -brakes at 78K (the front still had 30% plus pad left) -tires

    Anyone have Continental Truecontact??

    I've got Tru Contacts on my CX-5. They've been on the car now for a little over 40,0000 miles. I think they have around 6/32" of tread left. So far I've been very happy with them. Smooth ride, quiet and handle well. Mine are wearing evenly too. I do rotate them every 7,500 to 10,000 so I'm sure...

    How long did your brake pads last?

    79,000. The rears had made 10% life left max. The fronts probably at least 30%. I drive 75% highway so that helps too.

    Oil, Carbon build up palooza!

    BMW owners with direct injection engines have been walnut blasting their valves for a few years now to clean off the deposits. I was hoping Mazda solved that issue. May not after seeing these pictures.

    Change automatic transmission fluid?

    I did a drain and fill at both 50 and 75K miles. When I hit a 100K I'll probably drop the pan and put in a new filter too. Good find!

    Brake length

    When I checked my 2016 at 60,000 miles I had better than 50% pad wear left all the way around. I do a lot of highway driving though. Plan to check them next week again. I'm getting close to 75,000 miles.

    CX-5 Battery and lights dimming/flickering - need advice

    Go to Autozone or other parts store and have them do a load test on the battery. That will tell you for sure if that's it. They will install the battery for free and it will cost less than the dealer too.

    What's your odometer reading?

    2016 with 71,000 miles. At 75,000 I'm going to change out the struts, shocks, spark plugs, cabin and air filters. Brake pads are still over 50% so at this rate they should go to at least 90K miles.

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    My passenger side DRL started dimming and flickering. It's a 2016. Bad thing is I just turned 62K miles. I'll look at the headlight this weekend. Bad thing is I'm now out of warranty.

    Safe to replace one leaky tire at 3k?

    I would make sure it is the same tire brand and type too. Different brands and different types will drive differently.
