    Mazda5 Tires: Issues & Replacement Recommendations

Four tires plus delivery to a local Goodyear shop is $ 380, and I will be required to pay around $ 60 for installation...

    Mazda5 Tires: Issues & Replacement Recommendations

    My-2-year-20K-mile-old Mazda5 started to shake when the speed reaches 45 miles. The local dealer rotated tires and rebalanced them, but I still felt that the steering wheel was trembling, now in-between 50 and 60 miles. The dealer rebalanced it once again, but recommended to get new front...

    Key found As luck had it, we found the missing key. It was found on the other side of the Pacific (at my in-laws' house) , though. Since I had purchased a blank keyfob off ebay, I will try the programming by myself. Thanks!

    make sure to lock your glove box!

    Some bas#$^$# broke into my car, which I had parked in the street, and stole my Garmin C320 gps unit. It was in the glove box, but I didn't lock it up. (bang)

    lost remote key

    Thanks for the info, traffikboy, but the problem with that solution is that I don't have "2 pre-programmed transponder keys." Does this work with only one transponder as well?

    lost remote key

    My wife lost her remote key fob today. A quick search here reveals that it's prohibitively expensive--$90 something would cover all the programming cost (key + remote programming) or just the key programming? As to the actual key fob, I plan to buy it from ebay. Thanks for any input.

    Mazda 5 on snow?

    Probably a dumb question, so bear with me. If I buy snow tires (or winter tires), I should get them with rims (or wheels?), so I can keep the original tires at home to use it later? Oh, I feel embarrassed.

    Saved $3800 CDN !

    I don't want to hijack this post, but just out of curiosity, why is the supply of Mazda5 in Canada so low, compared with US? Or is it just a strong demand?

    Front Mask & Wheel Locks

    Hi. Does anyone here use front mask? Living in Boston, where bumper touching parallel parking is a norm, I am thinking about getting a front mask. How does it look on your mazda5? Mine is carbon gray, so it won't be that bad, but just wondering about your previous experience. Also, I am...
