What is the original tire for the Mazda CX-4?
2 Answers
The Mazda CX-4 comes with two types of tires as original equipment. The 2.0L naturally aspirated version of the Mazda CX-4 is equipped with 225/65R17 tires across the entire lineup, while the 2.5L naturally aspirated version is equipped with 225/55R19 tires. Below are some precautions regarding vehicle tire usage:1. Regularly check the tire pressure, which should be maintained at 2.5bar.2. Every 3,000 kilometers driven, rotate the front and rear tires to balance tire wear.3. If the pressure is too low, the tire body deformation increases, cracks are prone to appear on the tire side, and flexing movements occur, leading to excessive heat generation, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. This also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.4. If the pressure is too high, the tire cords are overstretched and deformed, the tire body elasticity decreases, the load during driving increases, and impacts can cause internal cracks and blowouts. Excessive pressure also accelerates crown wear and reduces puncture resistance.
I'm the owner of a Mazda CX-4 and have been driving it for almost three years. The original tires were Yokohama GEOLANDAR G91 series, size 225/65 R17. These tires focus on road comfort, with relatively low noise in urban driving and decent wet grip. However, they lack lateral support during high-speed cornering, so I later switched to Michelin Primacy. The original tires had a treadwear rating of 420 and actually lasted 60,000 km before replacement. The base model comes with 17-inch wheels, while the higher trim gets 19-inch wheels with Bridgestone ALENZA tires, though the tire width remains the same. When replacing tires, I recommend not going for the cheapest option, as it affects handling safety.
