So everything works fine and the light flashes and then stays on constant , good to know and thanks for the info
Thanks for reporting back! So it seems there's no real need for the TPMS on winter tires... nice.
Did anyone downgrade from 19s to 17s? If so, what tire/rim combo?
This maybe should have its own thread but since a few of you said you put winters on, did you stay with the same size wheels?
In Boston, I've spoken to a few dealers and they were all super against dropping from 19s to 17s for winter.
One even told me they thought it would void the warranty(which means they obviously don't know what they are talking about).
Has anyone done it? If so, what rims did you buy for the CX-5?
Thanks for any help!

18s will be perfect winter wheels without looking too small on the CX-5. Just get some food aftermarekt wheels like motegi, gram light, enkei, etc
Stock "19... winter undersized at "16..... they work great

Going from 19's to 17's without TPMS for the winter tomorrow and this was a concern!

Yeah, my dealer wouldn't sell me 17"s for my GT with stock 19"s either. He acknowledged they would work perfectly fine... but there must be some weird language in some of the corporate literature preventing them from doing this. Thus the dealer simply said to go to any tire shop to get the 17"s that I wanted. I ended up with 17" black steel rims.
PS- mine was a 2016, so no individual TPMS sensors.

Are those 18" Mazdaspeed 3 wheels?
I bought a set of 4 used TPMS sensors, part #BHA4-37140 for $40 on eBay for my winter rims. They worked well for me and no light to ignore.

On my 2017 GT used a set of 17" 2012 Mazda 3 GT wheels with new Mazda OEM sensors. Had to be the easiest switch over with TPMS being recognized following the steps in the owner manual.
No lights whatsoever and it was as simple to change wheels, turn ignition on, off wait 15 minutes and drive.

Hooked up to usb hub and shuts off 30 seconds after car locked. Painless pairing process to factory sensors.

Nice upgrade! Can the Orange device read tire temperature also sending out by TPMS sensors?

The manual said so, so as the high tire temperature warning.
