## Mazda CX-5 tire sizes: common questions

### What size tires does a Mazda CX-5 take?

It varies by trim and wheel size, 2 factory fitments exist, from 225/65R17 up. Check the placard on the driver's door jamb for the size your specific vehicle left the factory with.

### What is the bolt pattern on a Mazda CX-5?

5x114.3. That is the figure you need when shopping for aftermarket wheels; centre bore and offset still have to match separately.

### What should the tire pressure be on a Mazda CX-5?

35 PSI front and rear, measured cold. The number moulded into the tire sidewall is the tire's maximum, not the vehicle's recommendation. Do not inflate to it.

### What is the lug nut torque for a Mazda CX-5?

87 lb-ft, tightened in a star pattern with a torque wrench. Impact guns routinely overshoot this by 100 lb-ft or more, which warps rotors and stretches studs.

### Does the Mazda CX-5 come with a spare tire?

Compact temporary spare on most trims; some diesel/turbo trims ship with a tire mobility/repair kit instead.
