Once the warranty on my 2018 NA 2.5 CD expired, I started reading up on the cracked head issue, especially through this forum. I approached my Mazda service dept to talk to them about the issue and they confirmed that they had replaced several heads already. When I said that I was concerned as...

I just received the letter from Mazda (Canada) so dropped in to see what my dealership was experiencing. They have already replaced a few thermostats, but confirmed that they would only replace mine, when, and only when I got the designated CEL error code. They said to just file the letter away...

I've been running the AS plus 3's for 2 summers now. They are absolutely the best all seasons I have ever used and I considered several brands when my Toyo's first wore out.

I went with the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's and absolutely love how they perform.

Like you I really liked how the Toyo's performed, until the tread wore down....way too soon. I also went for the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's and absolutely love how they perform

I bought Pirelli Scorpion AS+3's from COSTCO and absolutely love them. I had considered the Michelin CC2's and the Continental LX25's but the spec's on the Pirelli's matched all my wants.

I'll echo that choice. I moved to these Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's not long after they were introduced in 2021 and have been absolutely delighted with my purchase. I had considered Michelin CC2's and Continental LX25's but the Pirelli's ticked all the boxes of what I was looking for in an All...

And even though they are referred to as "All Season" tires I would never run them in the snowy northern winters which I experience. That's why I run separate winter tires and my Pirelli's in the spring, summer and fall. I wouldn't want a summer tire as they tend to have a shallower tread and...

I only run my Pirelli's from spring to fall, and not in the snow, as I have separate winter tires. I will be on my 3rd season this summer and they have been terrific performers, better overall than my last all season Michelin Premier LTX tires. Quiet, grippy, good in the wet and no V or H. I'd...

I live in Atlantic Canada...definitely in the North, relative to the US. FYI, I bought my Pirelli Scorpion AS +3's at COSTCO.

I too am now running Pirelli Scorpion A/S +3's. I ditched my fast wearing OEM Toyo's about 3 years ago to get these Pirelli's not long after they first came out. I did a lot of comparisons on the Tire Rack website between these and the 2 other tires I was considering...Michelin CrossClimate 2's...

We also have small claims court in Canada. Each provincial small claims court has varying degrees of maximum claims, but here on the east coast in New Brunswick where I live the maximum claim is $20,000 (Canadian), where, amongst other claims, you can sue for defective or damaged goods.

I have owned both the 3D MAXpiders and currently the Mazda (Canadian) OEM all weather mats. I love the look of the OEM mats with the CX-5 badge, and the fact that they go up the sides to help contain water/snow, and, completely cover the dead pedal. The OEM's are constructed of the same...

I suspect that the squishiness you feel is what gives those A36's less vibration and harshness that some other tires experience.

Interesting...as I found the OEM Toyo's handled really well until they started to wear, which many agree wear out way too soon. Of course, I, like many others moved on to another longer lasting brand (like you will be doing) when replacements were due.

Same for me...19" for summer and 17" winters. My summers are Pirelli Scorpion AS +3's, and my winters are Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2's. Best tires, hands down!!!

Apparently, most of the cracked head issues seem to be happening with 2.5L NA models with CD but there have also been issues with the 2.5L turbo models. The NA CD models I believe tend to ooze oil out of the cracks in the head in the rear of the engine between cylinders 3 and 4 just above the...

The reference I was making here was not the proof of what has caused the heads to crack but what some followers on this forum have suspected, whether it be for the non-turbo or turbo models. See post #245 in general. Reference to over-torquing of the manifold bolts is mentioned in posts #35...

Since my NA, 2.5 CX-5 with CD is a 2018 model I dropped into my local Mazda service department today (here in Canada) to enquire about cracked heads on 2018-2021 NA 2.5L CX-5's with CD and if they had replaced any. I was surprised when the service manager told me that they had replaced between...

I had about 1/2 way up the hood(from the leading edge above the grill) and over to the black plastic around the front wheel wells, front bumper, the roof line from the front window to the sunroof, A- pillars up to the level of the sunroof, painted part of the wing mirrors, and the top of the...
