Ride

In the US, on the 17" wheels found on the Sport and the Touring models, they use the Yokohama Geolandar tires. Which have a lower PSI recommendation.

Sorry it took me a while to reply. The 17" alloys in the UK are also on Yokahama Geolanders (factory supplied on the SE and SE-L). I have a set I'm going to fit to compare the ride quality of the 19's on my Sport Nav (I like soft and comfy). The pressures are indeed lower on the 17's, as per my earlier post :)
 
Regarding tyre pressures - if it's any help, the owners manual for my UK model (with a diesel motor) states:
225/65/R17 102V tyres - up to 3 persons 33psi all round, full load 38psi front, 41psi rear.
225/55/R19 99V tyres - up to 3 persons 36psi all round, full load 38psi front, 42psi rear.
Excellent information! A while ago some tire engineer here was insisting the maximum load on every tire is ALWAYS set at 32 psi from tire manufactures! I wonder how he's going to explain this?! (whistle)

I hope you can post a picture of Euro CX-5 tire sticker like this one from my VW Passat:

OE Tires

The tyres on the new CX-5 Sports Nav in the UK showroom I'm currently in are Toyo Proxes R36.

17" in the UK are Geolandar G98, and I think the letter is A (but it's mostly out of the picture I took on my phone). (Notice how I've spelled it correctly this time, ie Geolandar, not Geolander as I originally stated)
