    How long do OEM tires last?

    I've had mine at 35psi cold and at 12 months I had 3100 miles, old retired dude here-lol. I haven't been here (Mazda247) for 8 months but plan to change out the 17s for 22s next year, nothing fancy like HRE, just some pimped triple chrome wheels. Other plans include rear sway bar, a front...

    K (Kork?) Sport Coilovers

    I had Tein Coilovers on a 98 Honda Accord and regular Teins in a 06 Scion TC and wasn't impressed, the ride was a soft (6/10) imho and slightly better than stock, Eibach's static Pro Kit had a much better and more controlled ride. I haven't tried the Tein EDC and it could be a game changer...

    Cursed 2014 CX-5 has rust

    I can't believe it but when I showed to service manager he confirmed and we are waiting to hear back from Mazda to see if they will authorize repair. The rust appears on the door hinges and is very noticeable, more like a blob than a speck. My CX only has 1800 miles and the service manager said...

    To DIP or Wrap, what is the answer?

    I found a place that will DIP https://www.dipyourcar.com/ my CX5 for under $450 in one color not including pearl or metallic additives, and another that will wrap it for $1600 with any design and color I like. Any input is appreciated and what color is best. To answer the why? I think of it as...

    Garage or Car Cover?

    Have to decide between my garage storage/fun space and the CX-5. Wife hates jumping in a hot car (South Florida) so I was thinking to either get a car cover or make room in the garage. I have already tinted the front windows with Suntek 30% and have a sun shade. We also have a 50/50 chance of...

    carbon fiber accents?? cx5?

    True on the fake CF. I had the real stuff on a '91 miata but technically it was a fiberglass hood wrapped in CF and it weighed about the same as factory. I agree with NorCal and have been wanting this look...

    Corksport Lowering Springs Installed

    Yep I had a similar problem in the rear with a 1996 Mitsubishi and was killing my tires that only lasted 8,000 miles. I would get a set if CorkSport would address this camber/toe issue in more detail. BTW it looks really good with 3.25 drop, now I have a good reason to get a body kit and some...

    How long do OEM tires last?

    Been there, done that. 5-7 years ago I had 5 cars/SUV and a R1 motorcycle at the same time. It was fun and a good time but I am retired now. Time to save my pennies in my old age.

    Corksport Lowering Springs Installed

    Now that is a really good looking drop and tire wear does not bother me (drive 2500mi/yr) so I am really tempted. I really like it but I am waiting for some coilovers to dial in a perfect ride height for City and/or weekend driving. I really like the factory ride so I am hoping some more reviews...

    Whats the best Windshield Sunscreen for the 2014 CX-5?

    Show us your Tint...

    Do they carry anything bigger than 18" ? The CX-5 looks best with 19-20s imo.

    Show us your Tint...

    Did mine a couple weeks ago with Suntek 30%, looks good and legal. 20% looks nice but rather it look lighter than the rears than darker which is a dead give away.
