New tires on our 2018 GT.
Between shortages and keeping an eye on the budget due to having a newborn baby now, opted for Sumitomo HTR A/S P03. Installed out the door for $750 after a $70 rebate. No complaints so far.
For some reason this post made me remember this meme:Installed the factory wind deflector today. Hate having the roof open and the sun beating down on my head.

So far we like - definitely grippy in the dry, and quite good in rain. Smoother than the OE Toyos.Yo!! I researched those Sumitomo's while looking for a grippy tire on dry roads for the CX-5. No snow here. Come back with a review. Where did you purchase from?
Do you know which year or model they added a fuse to the rear trunk light? I have 2017 CX5 and changed the trunk light from halogen to led last year along with all internal lights. It still works properly, i.e. shuts off the trunk light on closing the tail gate, but I am worried. I have a backup battery powered infrared controlled small led in the trunk too, so in the future I might add one more of these and swap back the halogen in the original trunk light.Although Mazda had modified the wiring and added fuse protection to Rear Body Control Module (RBCM) which controls rear trunk light, I’d still be very careful while replacing the trunk light and make sure don’t short anything within the bulb holder. Of course removing either the fuse or battery negative would be the best before replacing the trunk light.
Mazda modified the wiring with a fuse protection for the trunk light when they moved the trunk light location from the side panel to the liftgate on 2016 CX-5.Do you know which year or model they added a fuse to the rear trunk light?

No wonder my tail gate led replacement bulb was ok. BUT I panicked yesterday and changed it back to halogen before I read your reply! Damn! Punished for being impatient and a perpetual worrier.Mazda modified the wiring with a fuse protection for the trunk light when they moved the trunk light location from the side panel to the liftgate on 2016 CX-5.
Do you mind taking a photo from the inside I would like to see how much moonroof it covers.Installed the factory wind deflector today. Hate having the roof open and the sun beating down on my head.

Although there is still some current leak, I think you should be fine as far as the switch is off.Mazda modified the wiring with a fuse protection for the trunk light when they moved the trunk light location from the side panel to the liftgate on 2016 CX-5.
Tried the ventilated seats for the first time. I never thought I would like them as much as I do now.
After getting violently cut off by a BMW 230i and after the driver made a “bye-bye” gesture at the next lights, I realized that the NA CX-5 can be quite fast.

Nothing. They’re completely separate things. Anyways my comment was off topic.Ok, I'll bite.
What does the use of your ventilated seats have to do with getting "violently" cut off by a BMW driver?
Nice fitment. What's the wheel offset, or did you use any spacers?
Wheel style isn't really my cup of tea, though. Looks like cleaning will definitely be a chore.
