CX-5 Tire Fitments

also, does anyone know whats the weight of the original stock 19inch wheels?
 
Hi,
these information are very useful - Thanks. But I am not a Pro and have the following question:
I am driving a Grand Touring (tire - 225/55R19 99V / wheel - 19 x 7J), means standard.
Now I want to have something more 'sportive' like 245er and I do not want to change the wheel size.
1st question: does another tire size fit on my stock wheel ?
2nd question: do I need to have any changes on the body of the car?
3rd question: the Mazda dealer said that with all changes on my wheels I will have problems with my TPMS and/or the speedometer. Is that correct?

Thank you for some answer

Well im not exactly an expert either, but based from my research and understanding from the forums, here what I can conclude.

1) Yes, it does. Your stock 7J rims can cater up to 245 width tyres. But you will have to drop the series number.
2) No.
3) TPMS, no problem. I've changed my wheels and tyres. Now using 255/50r19.
The speedometer will be slightly off, but by just a small percentage. Say when you're speedometer reading is at 100kmph, your actual speed maybe 101.7kmph. U can use this website to enlighten you abit more.

Will a 245 60 18 tire work? If not what would be a good size tire. I am mounting them on some 2011 Mazdaspeed 3 wheels.

No, the circumferance is way over 3,6 %...... better is 245/55/18...........

There is some really good info on this thread, thanks.

Does anyone know if the wheels on a 2016 Grand Touring CX-5 are still only 7 inches wide? I was hoping it grew a little wider so I can put on wider tires. Based on the information on this thread, I suppose the widest I can go is 245/50/19.

I can't say about the MY 16 wheels, but I can say that a 7" wide wheel is in spec for a 255/50R19. How wide did you want to go?

Actually 245 is as wide as I want to go. I just thought that 245 was a little too wide on a 7 inch wheel and that I would lose lateral stability when cornering.
 
Yeah, 255/50R19 is kind of an odd size. Take a tire that's nominally 10.5" wide (a pretty typical width for a 255/50R19) and mount it on its widest recommended wheel (9") and it'll be about 10.9" wide. In other words, it'll be sticking out over half an inch beyond the lip of the rim. It's great for avoiding curb rash, but not so good if one is going for the stretched look. Even the aforementioned 245/50R19 will be substantially wider than its widest recommended wheel, which is typically 8.5".
 
Eh... originally developed for Hyundai OE use? No thanks.

Firestone Destination LE 2 is a known good tire, for only eight bucks more a piece.
 
All models use a 5 x 114.3 mm (5 x 4.5") hub bolt pattern. Offsets in the range of 35 - 50 mm should fit - you don't normally see wide wheels with high offsets that result in big backspacing. The CX-5 uses the Mazda-standard 67.1 mm center bore diameter.

Note 1: Pirelli doesn't seem to think that the rest of the tire industry's standards for suitable wheel mounting width apply to them. There are quite a few Pirelli tires that have oddball width ranges compared to other tires of that size. I've noted where I ran across these in compiling this list, and marked sizes for which Pirelli has at least one offering with a different recommended mounting width. There are undoubtedly more, but this is just what I've run across so far.

Note 2: These sizes are somewhat questionable, but Continental's Tire Selector indicates that they're suitable fitments for a CX-5. They certainly meet the load rating requirement for the vehicle, but I'd keep an eye out for rubbing if anybody wants to try them.


As for bigger sizes - If anybody can find a 21" wheel that will fit the CX-5, I'll be happy to compile suitable tire sizes. Until that happens, I'm not bothering with it. Anybody who wants to put 22" wheels on their CX-5 can do their own homework - the load ratings on the tires are marginal at best, and the wheels are ridiculously heavy. I strongly recommend against it.
Thanks for the info. I never strayed from the manufacturing recommendations with my past vehicles. However my CX-5 2015 Grand Touring is begging for a wider tire. I am saving for nicer rims, but need new tires now. ( still have the originals from factory/Mazda ) I would love any advice on what size tire, brand, tread or style is good. I work for a utility company as a outside facilities technician, ( means I can't use weather as an excuse for missing work ) and have a cumulative 83mls travel

I work for a utility company as a outside facilities technician and have a long commute, most of the miles being highway. So a harder rubber all season with a estimated 85,000 would be great. Any Ideas
