Tire Replacement Guide for the 2013–2016 Mazda CX-5

Your 2013–2016 Mazda CX-5 depends on its tires for grip, stability, and confident control in everyday driving. To help your tread wear evenly and support better handling (and even fuel efficiency), plan to rotate your tires about every 7,500 miles and make a habit of checking tread depth as you go.

If you spot sidewall cracking or bulges, notice uneven wear or bald patches, feel ongoing vibrations behind the wheel, or measure tread depth at 2/32" or lower, your CX-5 may be due for a new set of tires.

Refer to the info placard located on the driver-side door frame or ask the experts at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the right tires.
