Changed wheels from black 19" summer Toyo to winter 17" Platinum . Car is much softer with 225-65-17
I had similar results downgrading from 19” summer to 17” winter tires. Softer ride and lighter steering. Makes me want to downsize the summer as well.Changed wheels from black 19" summer Toyo to winter 17" Platinum . Car is much softer with 225-65-17
Yes you are right also the consumption show me 0.5 Liter smaller then on 19" wheels, on 19" is 8.0 L/100km, on 17" is 7.5l /100km, but the look on 19" wheels worth itI had similar results downgrading from 19” summer to 17” winter tires.

If I were you, I'd also change the oil with 5W-30 full synthetic GF-6 oil while changing the oil filter as very likely the wrong viscosity or conventional oil is in there even though it's fresh.Just bought a 2019 Signature w/13,300 miles from CarMax. It had fresh oil, suspected it may have wrong oil filter. Sure enough it had a CarQuest brand filter on it, not that it's not a good filter but not for this 2.5L Turbo. Replaced with Mazda 1WPY14-302, the most ($11.63 w/tax) I've ever paid for a screw-on filter. Ordered 12 of these online for $85 shipping included.

The MSRP for 1WPY-14-302 oil filter is $8.50. My Mazda dealer sells parts at the list but many do mark up the price. I hope your Mazda dealer gave the drain plug washer to you with no charge?You bet, of course I replaced OIL as well. I have 9 jugs of Kirkland Full Synthetic D1G2 5W-30 in my stash. You never know what they used, more than likely dino oil.
On the Mazda 1WPY14-302 oil filter, the gasket had grease already applied, no need to get my finger dirty to lubricate it.

I have to put in ~5.25 quarts to get to the Full mark on my 2.5L although Mazda says it's 4.8 quarts. People here say they need 5.3 ~ 5.5 quarts to get to the Max mark on the 2.5T although Mazda says it's 5.1 quarts.Oh, filled 5.3 qts of oil to get it just shy of max line, but I'll have to watch the level. I don't have perfectly flat space, everywhere around here is sloped somewhat.
Don’t think I’ll put any effort doing this to my vehicles anymore, too much work for me ⋯Washed her, clay barred, sanded/polished headlights, rewashed with Dawn to remove old wax etc, touched up all the little paint chips I could see. Did some interior cleaning as well. Waiting on the paint to dry before applying wax, will buff it in the morning. Then just have to finish up my interior detailing.
It's kind of a Zen thing for me. Would be easier if my wife kept things cleaner when I'm gone, but I love having a clean vehicle.Don’t think I’ll put any effort doing this to my vehicles anymore, too much work for me ⋯
Can't wait for videos. Also where did you get it?Recently replaced stock exhaust with a "Racing Beat Power Pulse" axel back exhaust.
Really like it. Nice sporting tone, no obnoxious, buzzing, droning noise.
