Put the Pirellis on my 2018 CX5 last year and they feel better than the stock Toyos. Went with them over the cross climate bc I live in SoCal where it’s mostly sunny and definitely no snow. I feel like it’s quieter too and they’ve been holding up well, I commute about 40 miles per day.
I have them on a non-turbo CX-5. I'm in San Diego, so a very different climate, and less than 10k on the tires now. But very good so far, I think quieter than the stock tires and good grip. Haven't noticed them wearing out quickly so far.
I have the Pirellis on my CX-5 and I have the Cross-Climates on another SUV. My driving is "spirited" and I haven't noticed a wear issue on either. The Pirellis corner like you're on rails, so it's a great driving experience.
put these on my Mazda CX5 last year. Vehicle immediately felt sturdier (compared to the stock Toyos). I've driven in the snow and ice, mud, dirt, pavement and the tires are great.
I’ve been running 205/50/R17 Westlake SA07 tires on my Mazda5 minivan since I bought it in late October 2023. The ride’s been smooth, and they’ve done well in both dry and wet conditions. Even in heavy rain, I haven’t had any hydroplaning or sketchy moments.
NGK/Denso are good plugs for my car I used IK20 Denso plugs as they are iridium plugs which is what you want as they last much longer and are better quality
I installed these on my 96 NA and they are awesome!!! Amazing quality and direct fit and cheap
Surprisingly, it needed brake pads and rotors at 21k miles, and at $1,100 at a trusted local mechanic, it wasn't as cheap as I expected. When I bought the car with 1,400 miles on it, the piano black trim inside the car was already scratched, and it looks quite a bit worse now. I also have to echo the thin paint comments from above, I've never seen a car that scratches so easily. The car's manners on the highway at 70 mph+ are a little nervous for me. On the plus side, I've always enjoyed the way the car looks and drives around town. The interior does look way better than the original MSRP would suggest (even with scratches). And we've had no surprising issues, other than the early brake job.
Then I figured that it might actually be compression so switched the starter motor to a much more powerful one to maybe postpone this cars death. It went from cranking at 250 rpm to cranking at 350 rpm\n\nGuess what? This also did absolutely nothing.
My daughter drives a 2022 CX-5, and the brake system is simply awful. Forget about getting used to long pedal travel or a natural driving feel—it's just not right. This is a heavy SUV, especially when loaded with passengers, and the single-piston front brake calipers make it unreliable, inappropriate, and downright dangerous. I complained to the dealer well before the warranty expired. They changed the brake fluid, which was shockingly dirty and full of contaminants for a car with less than 25,000 miles.
