    Yokohama vs Michelin

    That would be nice if you could start a thread about an ongoing review like unobtanium is doing at the moment for the nokian. Once we get a few tires reviewed we might be able to get the chart of tires and proper review sticky as quick reference for others.

    Yokohama vs Michelin

    I'll report for sure about thoses. Actually i'll start a new thread like unobtanium did for the nokian wrg3. That way we can keep all data related to that specific tire inside a single thread for future reference for others. I dont have a preference for yoko or any other brand. If the toyo A23...

    Went to Costco on my lunch break and did not like the Michelin after close inspection. After a quick chat with customer service at Discount Tires Direct, great peoples by the way, Yoko it is. Will report back once installed.

    Yokohama vs Michelin

    2 workmates have theses on a Subaru and a Ford Escape and all they have to say is : Great tire but very noisy. Since model 2016.5 sound proofing is better but still not that great i'm not going to take the chance on theses. I know michelin might be quieter but, usualy michelin are a bit...

    How Much Sound-Deadening Material in CX-5? - Noise Level

    This is my third CX-5 and the 2013/14 had the same noise level. Tried a 2015, same thing, 2016 is much more quieter. Crosswind is still an issue if you dont have the OEM side window deflector. It could be better but if you had to much material you will lose the motor sound connection thing that...

    Show me your Winter Wheels and tire combos.

    Knowing the CX-5 soundproofing is not that great. How loud it is in the cab with the stud? Currently running Michelin X Ice 2. They are relatively quiet, about 74db at highway speed on bare pavement.

    Buying advice needed: 2015 GT or 2015 Touring + aftermarket wheels & navi?

    This is exactly why i went all in on a GT + Tech pkg and like speedbegone said because all the cool stuff was in the GT before 2015. Had a 2013 GS before and the clothed bucket seat are not that great. The quality aint bad but could be a lot better. Leather is, IMO, the way to go. I'm 6'4" and...

    CX-5 drivers door excessive wind noise

    Same as the OP here. My commute is 15% suburbia land, 75% highway and 10% city. The highway portion is sometime very noisy, cross winds is the worst case scenario. Luggage or moonroof deflector and side windows deflector just add to it. But the moonroof deflector is nice at highway speed with...
