#10 of 13 Re: CX-9 Tire Sizes [lancef] by psycho6 Jan 02, 2008 (1:07 pm)
Replying to: lancef (Jan 02, 2008 7:53 am) I actually did extensive research on this exact issue before buying my 2008 Grand Touring. According to the information I collected, changing from the 20" to the 18" rims on the GT will affect the speedometer/odometer a virtually undetectable amount, if at all, because the added rubber satisfies all of the detectors, etc.   I definitely wanted the GT, but I hated the ride with the 20" rims. My dealer was willing to switch out the tires at no charge. (Of course I was giving him the more expensive tires, but since other dealers had refused to make the switch, I jumped at the chance.) I just returned from my first long distance road trip, and the ride with the 18"-ers was very smooth--much smoother than the ride when I test-drove the 20"-ers.   By the way, it took a lot of detective work, but I did manage to find a 2008 GT in Platinum with a Sand interior and a Blind Spot Monitoring System.   Hope this helps!

Replying to: lch77 (Mar 28, 2008 1:44 pm) Which dealership(s) were these at? I did a fairly exhaustive search in at least 30 major cities this morning... couldn't find that combo. Dealer says 90 days to wait for a custom build from the factory. Replies to this message: lch77 (Mar 29, 2008 2:22 am)

Replying to: c_rex (Mar 28, 2008 6:51 pm) one in CT, the other in MA, The Mazdausa.com website allows you to search dealers' inventory. It's not perfectly accurate, but it allowed me to pick a dealer that had my choice colors in stock.
