I’ve had these on our CX-5 now for a couple months now and have driven in rain/cold/snow. They are hands-down, far superior under inclement weather than the extra crappy OEM tires. They don’t slip easily (unlike the OEM tires) and provide a much better glued-to-the-road sensation from the driver’s seat.
The sidewalls seem slightly softer than the OEM tires, which has made for a slightly better ride. I would also say they slightly reduced steering feel and responsiveness. I would not call these tires sporty at all but they make driving the CX-5 a slightly more pleasant affair when not flogging it, eliminating some of the dartiness this short wheelbase small suv has on the highway. Seems like perfect tires for this people mover.
Hard to go wrong with these tires.
