2016 Mazda CX-9 Winter and Ice Driving

for those who actually bought a 2016 and have it in hand , what is the OEM tires that come with the new CX-9,

I'm interested in looking for tire reviews,

are they really the Falken ZIEX CT50 all seasons tires that Avidien reported on from the NY Auto show ?

thx in advance.

For the 20" (GT and Signature) it is the Falkens.

For the 18" (Touring and Sport) they are Yokohama Geolanders.

edit: i have not yet bought one, but i've seen both types at the dealerships.

Thank you jcpharm,
looks like same Falken tires as the new Chrysler Pacifica,

they should be better than the old CX-9 OEM Bridgestone Duelers H/L those were absolutely horrible in snow and ice,
they felt unsafe and I got Michelin LTX so much better.

also, I would think Chrysler would pick a quality tire to showcase their renewed Pacifica brand,

Chrysler have a lot riding on that model and have marketed it heavily,
styling actually doesn't look that bad as far as minivans go ? LOL

Actually the original Pacifica was a crossover like the CX-9 I believe,
not sure why they didn't carry that over and went the minivan route with the Pacifica brand.

now this is the correct way to list features without any ambiguity LOL,
