Our 07 CX-7 GTFWD will be three years old in Oct. 2009. We have just over 12,000 miles. Our OEM tires by Bridgestone were all starting to crack between the treads. I called my Firestone dealer and he told me to bring the vehicle in. After checking all 4 tires, he said that they would be replaced. They were balanced, new valves stems,etc. all at no charge to me. I am hoping that these will last longer. I had the car serviced last Dec. and they changed the module that controls shifting. It tends to not want to go into 6th gear unless I let off on the accellerator. My gas milage has dropped to 15mpg in town, but I get 22.5mpg on the hwy. The new tires ride quite well but I only have about 500 miles on them. I am due service at 14,500 miles and I will have them address the transmission situation. Overall, we really do like the CX-7.

I purchased a Mazda CX 7, 10 months ago. I have less than 8000 miles on it. Last Thursday I noticed that my tire was almost flat, so I took it to get looked at. They brought to my attention that on 4 tires are dry rotted! So, today, I took it to the Mazda dealer I had purchased it from. Mazda has nothing to do with it, Bridgestone does. And, Bridgestone will only cover 50% of each tire. I would not have a problem with paying over $300 for 4 new tires,if I had more than 8000 miles and the car was a few years older. They also proceeded to tell me that my tire tread is 50% woren....how can this be, its not even a year old with less then 8000 miles. I take very good care of my cars, oil changes every 3000 miles, my tires were only rotated once at 5000 miles. I just don't think it is fair that I should have to pay anything, the tires should be covered under my warranty...HELP  !!

Is it ok to just replace only 1 tire for the cx-7? I had a slow flat from chicago on a 6 hr drive and checking on the tire every 2hrs putting air cause it looses 5-8 psi. I made back home and installed the spare right away. I bought two tires even on just 1 flat. So is it ok to install just 1?

Replying to: pxleak (Jul 08, 2009 4:37 am) several thousand miles on a tire and loose it to a flat. The single new tire replacement will possibly affect the function of such safety features of Traction control, etc. Any time you have a great variation in tire tread depth, it will affect the ware and tear on the tires presently. Most people put two new tires on the front, because most vehicles are FWD. Remember that the CX-7 comes standard with Dynamic Stability Control(DSC) and Traction Control System(TCS) If you check your manual you will see a schedule for tire rotations and which tires go where.

Replying to: jennyj79 (Jun 16, 2009 10:21 am) They replaced my four dry rotted and cracking tires with balance, new vales stems, etc. I paid $00.00 That is a new vehicle for all intents and purposes. Find out who the Regional Mgr for the local dealers is and ask for phone number. I would take it to the top of Mgt. I know that Bridgestone as a Mfg. does not want their customers to be treated that way. They could loose your business for life. I dont know where you live but here in SW La. our dealers take care of their customers. Good Luck and dont take NO for an answer. |
