Check the label on the driver's door jamb. 36 psi.
BUT, if you run 17" winters, as I do, then it's 35 psi + 4.2 lbs extra for winter tires (as recommended by Mazda).
Where did you find that recommendation?
That fabulous little book called the owners manual...

Why would one run them so much higher? Maybe they're thinking that 17's are in a sort of high load situation? I don't get it. Any ideas?
Thanks. Must be new info for the 18s. It's not in the 17 manual. Not even a mention of running 17"s [except Mexico], or anything about snow tires at all.
I asked because it sounds strange to me. Why would one run them so much higher? Maybe they're thinking that 17's are in a sort of high load situation? I don't get it. Any ideas?
Yes, for gen-2 CX-5 with 225/55R19 Mazda reduced its tire pressure recommendation to 35 psi for US market. If OP is in other country Mazda would give several different tire pressure recommendations based on different load and driving speed.My label says 35psi for 19's

I always put 2~4 psi more than US-only one-psi-fit-all manufacture recommended tire pressure.
I bumped my Toyo 19's from 35 to 38 psi and the steering is a little better as well as a softer ride over road seams. Overall very pleased.
I would have thought that increasing the PSI above that recommended by Mazda would make the tire stiffer and therefore producing a harder ride over road seams.
