- 2014 CX-5 GS AWD
My GS(Touring in USA) CX-5 has those awful looking 17" rims, so they have been demoted to winter duty. There are quite a few Mazda6 GT 19" rims, those beautiful gloss black pieces, for a good price. I want to make those the summer rims however, the tire size recommended is odd, being 225/45/19. Usually the rubber is fatter since I'm seeing 245+, so I don't have a whole lot of options. I work at a car dealership and got quotes for tires from our parts department. A cheap tire, General G-Max AS-03 is $191 a tire, and I definitely don't want them, reviews aren't that good either. Next option is Yokohama Advan Sport A/S V405. They're $200 a tire and reviews are mostly from sports car owners saying they grip awesome and do decent in the snow too. But will those be overkill? Then lastly, the more expensive tire, is the Michellin Pilot Sport A/S 3+, with very good reviews, and do well in the snow too, and they're $230 a tire. What do you guys think? And if you have any other suggestions, let me know!
