best tyres for mazda cx5 australia Page 8

For a Mazda CX-5 in Australia, you’ll want tyres that balance grip, quietness and wet-weather manners, not knobbly off-road cosplay.

Common sizes are 225/65R17 and 225/55R19; stick to the placard’s load and speed ratings, and keep a matched set on each axle.

Top all-rounders: Michelin Primacy 4+ and Bridgestone Alenza 001 for comfort and low noise; Continental UltraContact/MaxContact and Pirelli Scorpion Verde if you fancy sharper steering; Yokohama Geolandar G058 or Kumho Crugen HP71 for value.

If you tow or tour long distances, err toward touring SUV tyres; if you drive hard on twisties, look at performance-SUV options like Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV.

Keep pressures sensible (around the door-placard figure) and rotate every 10,000 km—your ears, wallet, and alignment will thank you.
