    Question about replacing one tire

    No, none at all. I had it put on the rear. I kept it in hopes of not having to buy a new tire next time I get a sidewall nail. But I don't have as sensitive a butt as many posters here...I can't reallly tell the difference between tires much, and always thought the OEM Toyos were just fine...

    Question about replacing one tire

    I agree, found it weird myself. The OEMs were at 9/32 after 22k of driving, and the replacement is at 8/32 after less than 10k of driving. The new Pirellis started at 11/32.

    Question about replacing one tire

    I also have a 2020 Sig., and had an unrepairable sidewall nail in one of the Toyos at 22,300 miles. Stopped at a tire shop, they pushed to sell me all 4! Another said get 2. My other 3 OEM tires had 9/32" at the time. I then went to a Mazda dealer, they said I was fine buying just one, so I...

    Hit A Curb With Our New 2024 CX-5 :(

    I would move it to the back. Your car is now broken in, and you can stop parking in the far back of the lots! ☺️ (if it were me, I'd just have alignment done whenever you replace the tires)

    CX-5 Accessory must haves?

    The first thing I buy when I get a new car is a set of cheapie fisheye spot mirrors from WalMart. Stick them on outer lower area of each side mirror. However, I think I will quit those, as the 360 camera pretty much obviates the need...

    Average MPG less than 20mpg, am I alone?

    I have tracked all of my gas purchases for 50 years. For my 2020 Sig, these are the calculated MsPG for each year of ownership, since purchased new in June 2020: 2020: 25.04 (partial yr., covid, drove little) 2021: 25.37 2022: 25.7 2023 (YTD): 26.13. I retired in late 2021, started...

    Anyone's CX-5 just can't stay out of the body shop?

    Yow, I feel for those with these tales of woe. My insurance just went up 30%, and I've had no citations or claims! My 2020 Sig w/30k miles was hit lightly with hail recently, 4-5 very small dents, not enough for me to fix it or file a claim. Now that 3 yrs have passed (and warranty expired)...

    Tire recommendations needed for 2016.5 CX-5 GT AWD

    How odd...my OEM Toyos, removed today, had 5/32 on them, after just under 32k miles. Anyhoo, you got a lot better deal on your Pirellis than did I!

    Tire recommendations needed for 2016.5 CX-5 GT AWD

    I had 4 Scorpions mounted today at Sam's Club. My OEM Toyos were cupping, so I went to my dealer immediately afterward for a 4-wheel alignment. I can't say I noticed a big difference between the old and new in my short amount of driving today, except that on the freeway the Pirellis were much...

    Costco Interstate Batteries - Standard or AGM?

    Had a new battery (Duracell, I believe) put in my 2020 while at Sam's today. $140, but they installed it for free. Costco by me (MN) is now $120 for their group 35 Interstate. I didn't lose any settings for anything. Sam's offered me the AGM, so I presume they were in stock. As I wasn't...

    Airbag light, nice Mazda dealer experience

    Had my car in for a dealer oil change (got some free ones as part of new-car purchase) in late May, and ON THE DRIVE HOME my airbag light started flashing, twice followed by once, repeating after 5 seconds. I texted my service advisor, and he of course said to bring it in if it kept going...

    Air Filter for CX-5 2.5T motor?

    This was back in 10/22, but I purchased a two-pack of STP SA12167 from Autozone online. I was also confused by/didn't trust what I was finding on Amazon at the time. $34.98 before sales tax. Somehow I got free shipping, and a $5 discount off the retail 39.98. Fit my 2020 Signature fine, and...

    Where did you get them? I am probably going to buy these in the fall, perhaps thru Sam's Club.

    Mazda corporate is terrible, why do people always recommend to contact them?

    try taking the roof rails off, just to eliminate the dealer's theory?

    CX-5 2nd Gen Easter Eggs

    Is there a way (non-normal, I guess!) to avoid the parking brake getting activated when shutting down the car in Autohold mode? The manual wasn't clear on that. My car doesn't seem to put the brake on every time, so there must be some sequence I can use. I don't like trying to take off on...

    Gas Tank Heat Shield Drilled Through

    I would do... nothing at all. (Correction: I would mix myself an Old Fashioned and never give that hole in a heat shield another thought!)

    Aftermarket CX-5 Floor mats and seat cover options?

    +1 to the Honorable Zig. I had weathertechs in my 2014, and switched to maxpiders for my 2020 (for the front; I kept my weathertechs for use in the rear floor). maxpiders are IMO much better. (I also kept my OEM cargo mat for the 2020, but it doesn't fit perfectly)
