    245/45/20 tires instead of stock size?

    I'm not looking to get new wheels. I actually really like the look of the stock 20's. Yeah, I realize that with 45 the ride should be firmer in theory, but with the improved vehicle dynamics it might be worth it. Just wanted to check if anybody had first hand experience.

    245/45/20 tires instead of stock size?

    My 2011 CX-9 GT is at 33K miles and I'm starting to look at potential tires. Has anyone gone with 245/45/20 tires? There are a lot more choices and they are mostly designed for sedan/sports car rather than SUV. However, don't really care for the lower profile as the OEM 245/50 can be a bit firm...

    I also installed the stainless steel bumper guard over the weekend. A MUST have IMO. Makes the car look a lot better.

    Any difference between the 2011 and 2012 Head Unit?

    Thanks for keeping us updated! If its not too much to ask, could you also post pics as you go along? Do you think the OEM Bose radio would fit in my CX-9 with standard radio? I've been thinking of retrofitting it to get a screen for a backup camera.

    Cheap Echomaster backup sensors on sale on Ebay

    Yeah I'll spray a thin layer of matte paint so it looks better with my bumper. I've read about the issues with painted sensors, but I'm hoping Echomaster quality is better. The quality of a product is not determine by the country of origin, but by the QC procedures implemented by the factory...

    Cheap Echomaster backup sensors on sale on Ebay

    I just got my CX-9 and I've doing a lot of research about backup sensors in the past couple of days. I know cheap no-name chinese backup sensors are plentiful on Ebay and many people have reported that they work ok. However, it seems Echomaster is the most reputable backup sensor manufacturer...

    Is the MID radio plug n play with the base radio?

    I just bought a 2011 base GT with the base radio. How easy would it be to install the MID radio? Is it a direct replacement?

    My 100 mile old CX-9 has its first issue :(

    yeah I'll try that filling up the car this weekend. The service advisor did say that he has never seen this issue before. The gas pump is shared between 4 dealers so I would be surprised if something is wrong with it and nobody has found out.

    My 100 mile old CX-9 has its first issue :(

    Well....it seems that my 2011 CX-9 has an issue already. When I picked up the car this past Sat the fuel gauge needle was only showing 3/4 full. It was late so I picked up the car and drove back home. Today I bring the car in to the dealer so that they could fix some scratches and fill up my...

    Looking to buy a used 2009 CX-9

    Went to check out the car today. The interior was actually pretty clean and the leather seats were in good shape. Unfortunately it was pretty obvious that the rear quarter of the car was poorly repainted. Now looking at a brand new one and see if I can get a deal.

    Looking to buy a used 2009 CX-9

    This is the cheapest decent example that I could find on autotrader. Used car prices are ridiculous right now given all the incentives on new cars. Yeah, I suspected it its a Touring and not a GT. Could I ask what other things besides the leather made you think 18K is a fairer price? I think the...
