Replying to: truckasaurus (Jul 11, 2007 2:56 pm) I have a 2006 Mazda 5 and the tires are WORN and need replacing at just 17,000 miles. I did have a recall on both the front and back suspension and had it all replaced so I think the premature tire wear on the TOYOs are due to this. In any event, Mazda is replacing my tires on warranty and they should. Good luck! Replies to this message: jojodancer69 (Sep 30, 2008 9:57 am)
#87 of 130 Tire Wear by bigbear54 Aug 09, 2007 (7:59 am)
I just had to replace all 4 tires at 29,000 miles they are the 205/50R/17 and they are expensive, the cheapest I could find are BF Goodrich at 141.00 per tire if you want the expensive ones just try Good Year Eagles almost 200.00 per tire, these tires are high speed rated tires, who the hell is going to drive around at 140 + in a little mini van? There needs to be an alternate tire that at least gives good tread wear!! Replies to this message: x5sav (Aug 09, 2007 8:42 am) maltb (Aug 09, 2007 9:26 am)

Replying to: bigbear54 (Aug 09, 2007 7:59 am) Have you try discount tire direct? It has Yokohama YK520, for $109. Mileage warranty is 60K miles.

#90 of 130 2007 Mazda 5 by gothelia Oct 02, 2007 (3:51 pm)
My sister has a 2007 Mazda 5, it has 3000 miles on it. It hit a pothole and blew out the whole side of a tire. Is this covered under warranty? And exactly what size tire did this model come with? What is the least expensive replacement tire on the market?   Thx in advance!   Pam Replies to this message: coolmazda5 (Oct 03, 2007 9:02 am)

Replying to: gothelia (Oct 02, 2007 3:51 pm)   The stock tires are Toyos A18 205/15 R17 (US, it is marked on the tire side). I'm afraid to say that that issue may not be part of the warranty as is not a tire defect.   With so few miles I would look for the same Toyo to replace it. Now, worst case scenario, if its really pricy or you don't find the same Toyo, I would at least get a couple of a different brand tires and replace them in the same axis (front or back) so they wear uniformly, otherwise only one different brand tire may make the car feel weird or not very stable.   Anyway, here is a good site: http://www.tirerack.com

Well I must admit..I'm in the U.S. and I bought my 2006 Mazda5 used (22k miles) and it had new tires. I wondered why in the world a car with only 22k miles needed new tires. I had a talk with my father about that issue and told him I was weary of buying a car that I would have to buy $200/each tires for every 20k miles but he explained to me that the type of tires on the Mazda5, how the Mazda5 drives/handles, etc. CAN wear them down quick (and bad) if you do not keep an eye on the pressure. I'm thinking of getting them filled with Nitrogen...... Replies to this message: coolmazda5 (Oct 07, 2007 3:19 am)

Replying to: w00000t (Oct 06, 2007 7:34 pm) Nitrogen? Interesting...   I've read from some other owners as well and here are some of the comments:   a) Toyo are the original equipment from the manufacturer and they are not the best for this type of tire anyway. There are better and cheaper tires in the market. Regardless, some owners have driven 30K+ miles on them with no issues.   b) I agree with your father, for this type of tires (low profile) keep a close eye on the air pressure whenever possible and rotate every time you service the car. Yes, my other car is a Honda and I was spoiled somehow. As a matter of fact, on that car I changed tires not because of wear, but because of crazy weather conditions plus I was traveling a lot so the mileage was very low compared to the model year (I had no garage) so the rubber just went awry and became unsafe.   Now, to me the Mazda5 tires make a huge difference (looks and drive) so they are worth the extra care.
#94 of 130 Nitrogen in tires by w00000t Oct 09, 2007 (10:53 am)
Yes, nitrogen. I can't remember where I read it (probably on here somewhere, actually) but nitrogen helps prolong tire life and keep the same amount (or very darn close) amount of pressure in them.   This morning I freaked out almost to the point of crying because I got in my car to take my son to school and my tires started shaking. My father and I had JUST checked the pressure and put exactly 34 in all tires THREE DAYS EARLIER.  What had happened was, was the day before, it was 95 degrees outside, very dry, but last night it dropped down to around 50 degrees and even frosted a little, was very HUMID. Just that caused my tire pressure to go wonky! By the way, nitrogen is not expensive.. I think you can have it done at a car place for no more than $10/tire. I don't know the exact price though because my dad races motorcycles and already has nitrous and nitrogen tanks in the garage.......
