I wouldn't do it. The sidewalls are too short and GT rims too pretty. Not certain that angles and travel are good enough. Also, too many sensors all over the car for various things to damage with mud, rocks, etc.

I would probably go as far as an unpaved rutted dirt/mud road.

The CX-9 is not built for any sort of off-road adventures. If you try it I am sure you will have a very good story about how you now longer have your CX-9.

But...the car does great in snow and ice. Here in Tahoe over the holidays and it has been awesome.
