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.

Goodyear Assurance MaxLife 225-55-19 Mazda CX 5 turbo 4,000 miles October 2, 2026

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.

Nexen N Blue 4Season 2 225-55-19 Mazda CX 5 turbo 5,000 miles June 29, 2026
First set of all-weather tires. Not overly impressed, as I'm used to drive on seasonal tires (summer/winter), although they are not too bad for everyday driving.
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.

Vredestein Ultrac Pro 235-55-19 Mazda CX 5 turbo 6,000 miles June 2, 2025
Running on 4700 lb vehicle with turbo that's driven aggressively and this tire keeps contact and transmits that road surface feel to driver. Performance with ABS engagement is superbly jarring with an unbelievably short distance at low speed, giving a full stop! now effect that is transmitted audibly to wheel. This is my second season summer switch from Wintrac Pro tires these have very little signs of wear at 6000 miles; Will definitely buy newest version when replacing them. The built in Rim Protector is an excellent feature that has kept Curb Rash away so far.

Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 225-55-19- Mazda CX 5 turbo 15 miles January 19, 2025
This is my first non-oem tire on this vehicle. And what an improvement! Comfort and noise levels are both better compared with the original tires. Wet performance is excellent even in cooler temps. Last summer I had to make a full panic stop on a curve at the interstate with two deer blocking the road. The car was loaded with travel gear and it was a cool summer night. Stopped with 20 feet to spare and barely had to engage ABS. Still in my lane. You will sacrifice some dry cornering grip compared with performance rubber but boy are the wet grip and comfort worth it for day-to-day. And the crossover to winter tires is that much less stressful as I've seen these Pirellis perform well in near freezing temps.
