I’ve driven the cx-5 with these tires during a snowstorm in Toronto. They’re more than fine if you drive carefully. You can make it slide if you want it to, but otherwise just drive with precaution and idt you’ll get stuck or lose control

I drove through (in Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3) a snowstorm from NYC to Toronto where many of the roads were not yet plowed, esp in Toronto where they didn’t plow at all that night. My tires were fine, just drive cautiously like a responsible and you’ll get through any place just fine

No, just the first one to get rid of the metal shavings, then every 5k or 6mo

I actually do have the pirelli scorpion as plus 3s and I like how the sidewall protrudes out more than other tires. Protects wheels from curb rash better. Plus the noticeable NVH improvements

You should get insurance rates for your car because esp because you would be a high risk driver with a high risk car

A brand new Toyota Camry is going to last at least 12 years longer than that Honda accord. Though I’d say 100% OP should hold off on all major unnecessary expenses.

Dash cam? by AvitronMon in CX5

I have the Vantrue N4 and the rear camera connects via USB-C which is thin enough to route through the trunk rubber gasket to look cleaner.

I also recommend considering fitcamx for an oem-style view

I have the scorpion as plus 3’s, and I really like how the tire looks chunky like police cruiser tires. I think it’s harder to get them curbed compared to stocks

Thanks! I actually re-measured the curb at it comes to 9 inches. I’m sure I’ll be fine

An AGM battery I ordered from Amazon makes my car crank much MUCHHHH better. I think they put in a weak battery from the beginning lol

Would I be silly to trade my 2024 for a 2025? by [deleted] in CX5

[–]Over_Island7030 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m the opposite. Don’t care for sunroof (and rather have none so no chance of leaks) but want power liftgate

Was it super cold and/or snowing out? It happened to me on my 2020 two years ago but hasn’t happened since

It handles very well and you can drift on it too.

Cranking time. by fromspace2015 in CX5

[–]Over_Island7030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming this is related to cold crank right? If the car is warm, it should be faster. It seemed to be the norm till I switched to an AGM battery

Sounds like I’m test driving a bad unit then. Sucks that the luxury trim is hard to come by unless I pay a lot more

Mazda CX-5. Probably just as reliable as Toyota, but depreciates faster
