Well gang, did it! Bought a set of Kumho ESTA ASX P245/45R20 tires mounted on a set of Zinik Z5 Ikeda 20x7.5 rims. Mounted and filled with nitrogen, out the door, cost me $2300.

Wow, Vince, looks great. I'm not a big fan of chrome myself, but the 20's look surprisingly "right-sized" on the CX. The tires don't look "painted on," either. Still some sidewall left... Hope the ride works out over the long haul. Be sure to keep us posted on the tire wear - I'd assume the Kumhos come in the stock size as well?

Thanks for the compliment!I didn't check to see if they came in the stock size, 235/60-18. You can check tirerack.com - it's a spiffy website and helped me alot!

I have 18K miles on my cx-7 and have not yet rotated the tires. Dealer tells me the inside tread of the tires on the front are down to nothing and need to be replaced.
 
Replacing tires after 18K miles is unacceptable. how do I get Mazda USA to cover all (or a portion) of this?
 
I have never had tires wear this quickly.

Check your paperwork that came with the tires and see what that says. I'd talk with the dealer manager and service manager about the warranty and see what they say.
 
I'm guessing you won't get any satisfaction, though. From what I've seen on these forums, members haven't had much luck working with MazdaUSA, as MazdaUSA seems to always say that the dealer is wholly independent of MazdaUSA and that MazdaUSA has no say over how dealerships run their franchises. Particularly when it comes to those kind of warranty issues. I don't know if any of that is true or not, but that seems to be the prevailing responses.
 
If, after discussing these issues with Mazda dealer and examination of your warranty paperwork, if you feel you're on solid footing, then perhaps pursue through small claims court. Good luck. Vince.

Thanks for the suggestion Vince. I did speak to the dealer late yesterday and he told me to contact MazdaUSA and try to get resolution from them. Dealer price for these Goodyears is $269 each, mounted/balanced etc.
 
There is no way I will pay that much for such crappy tires.
 
I'll update the board after my discussion with Mazda.
 
btw Vince - nice bling !!!

So I waited for Mazda customer Assistance to call me back for 2 days now.....so I called the guy and he tells me the dealer never called him back. He has no additional information or notes on my account. He says it's up to the dealer and the regional manager to figure out the resolution to the problem...So what the heck is Mazda Customer assistance doing?? Nothing???
 
So far I am very unimpressed with Mazda customer service as compared to my experience with Honda customer service.
 
This may result in me never leasing or buying another Mazda.

Hey Johnny, the only thing I can suggest is look over that paperwork that came with your tires and see what your rights and responsibilities are. If the excessive wear at 18K miles falls under warranty, then go back to the dealer and speak personally to the manager. If the excessive wear falls under the warranty provisions AND the dealer doesn't want to play ball, then you might consider lodging complaints with the local Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the local Chamber of Commerce.
 
You might want to visit www.tirerack.com and see what replacement tires cost. Then go shopping locally to compare prices.
 
Wish there was something more I could do, other than provide advice. Your situation definitely SUCKS, IMHO.

Well I have given up on Mazda. I'm planning on getting Goodyear Eagle Respond Edge replacements for my car and will try to get some credit $$ back from Goodyear under the general tire warranty.
 
tirerack highly rates these tires. Anybody agree or have alternative suggestions??
