I bought a used CX-5 with these tires and was amazed at how bad they were. They were 3 years old and looked fine with plenty of tread depth. But even on clear dry road in the summer I could spin them a bit just by putting my foot down at 20 mph. (And remember this is an AWD SUV!) I'd get torque steer when accelerating, I assume from uneven traction on the front tires. On greasy damp mornings I could get the whole car sliding around a corner. And after one awful drive in the snow where I barely made it home, I ordered new Pirellis just as soon as I could.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Mazda CX 5 turbo drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I wouldn't suggest them for spirited driving or trying the limits of the car as the tires are too squishy. For dry and wet driving, if you're following the speed limits you should be fine.
Still haven't had the chance to test them in proper snow, but with the limited experience in few snowy patches in the mountains (without surprises), I'm having high hopes to make it trough the winter.
Comfort and noise are satisfactory, possibly a trade-off from the driving dynamics.
So far for the 5000 miles (~8k km) during spring and summer, haven't noticed any difference in the tire behavior or indications of them being worn.
Will buy again, just not for the current car.
