I'm driving a 2019 signature but within a week of owning it I switched to Rays wheels and Firestone tires and it drives super smooth like butter. No vibration at all.

Just curious what youre expecting from this. Myself and the OP have had the issue resolved with better quality tires.
wondering if the culprit could be the design of the OEM rims? maybe this particular design causes some type of turbulence around the wheels causing this vibration?
Does anyone driving a 19 NOT have this issue?
thats a very nice set up. what fire store tires are those?
Status Update:
Saw dealer last Wednesday at 8am. Was told by a rep there would hear within 24 hours. Have heard nothing so I contacted customer care today. This is what followed.
Thank you for your patience John. I contacted the service adviser "Jesus" at Cardinaleway Mazda and was advised that the Technician reached out via phone to the hotline team. The adviser says there has not been a hotline ticket open on the concerns as of yet. The service adviser says the dealership is supposed to open a case with hotline tomorrow and contact you with the updates on this matter.
I provided my contact information and I am sending a email to the Service Adviser, Service Manager, and Technician to keep me in the loop and to open a hotline ticket with Mazda Corporate involved on this matter. I will keep a close eye and assist as needed. The adviser says the concerns were duplicated on the vehicle as well as on two other 2019 CX5 at the dealership. At this point the dealership is investigating if this is a normal feature or needs to be diagnosed.
I got a little irritated as this seems to be getting worse, by the mile in my opinion. Eventually Im sure whatever it is will come to light. To be continued...
I almost purchased a 2019 CX-5 Signature today. I took it for one last drive and noticed this vibration you are all discussing. Tried a second vehicle and same thing. Only from about 55-69 mph. I must have driven too fast the last two times I test drove it. I was enjoying the turbo coming from a large Ford Freestyle with no pep.
I was going to buy it today and pick it up tomorrow, but the vibration couldn't be ignored. It drove so nice slowly and fast over 70. I read through this thread, but got a little confused. I think you said the Michelin Premiere LTX tires fixed the problem in an early post, but in this post you said it was getting worse by the mile. Did it seem to fix it and then get worse so you had to take the back roads. Sorry if I am misunderstanding something. It has been a long day. I even drove across the street and tested a CRV on the same highway to see if it might be the road, since my 13 year old car would not be a good comparison. The CRV was smooth at those speeds. I really can't see buying it at this point and testing to see if the Michelin's fix it for me, but was hoping to hear how your experience has been the last couple of weeks. I was so set and excited and now I have no idea what my next move it. I had such a good deal lined up. Thank you.
If a $39K vehicle which requires specific tire brand and model such as Michelin Premier LTX to make it smooth at 55~69 mph, then Mazda should equip its CX-5 with such tires only, not Toyo A36 which vibrates.The post you quoted was from before he resolved it. The new tires resolved the matter for him. I swapped my OEM Toyos out for Pirelli Cinturato and that made it better but didn't completely resolve it, so maybe the Michellins are better tires.

IMO there certainly have issues somewhere and in no way a vehicle can only be fitted with a single brand of tires which will cost owner extra $1,000 to eliminate the vibration.
