...good grip and minimal tendency to hydroplane in wet weather...
The OEM tires on my 2018 Mazda CX-5 were Toyo A23s. I went over 37K miles over two years of driving in typical Pacific Northwest weather; wet in the winter and dry in the summer. I drive a lot of twisty mountain roads in the warmer months. I also did some road trips: the CA Sierra Nevada, through central and eastern Oregon, back East to the Yellowstone area. The tires were fine in all the conditions I encountered. Really good grip in dry twisty corners, good grip and minimal tendency to hydroplane in wet weather. I only encountered 1 small snowfall (about 2 inches) while I was running these tires. They handled that snow great. The tires still had about 5/32's tread left after the 37K miles. After switching to Michelin Premier LTX tires, I realize the Toyo's were relatively noisy.

...I feel very confident in these tires in the wettest of conditions...
Put 46k on these so far. They were factory OEM. I'll probably replace them at 50 or 55k. Really impressed with their longevity and performance as they wear. I feel very confident in these tires in the wettest of conditions. Not a ton of snow experience as we are in VA.

...It handles well on dry pavement and gives fairly good feedback...
This tire is the OEM tire on my Mazda CX5 GT. Overall the tire isn't all that bad. It handles well on dry pavement and gives fairly good feedback. For an OEM tire it has been a pleasant surprise but I live in the Northwest where it rains hard majority of the year and these tires hydroplane a lot. I found that if you keep them at the max pressure that Mazda recommended the tire will hydroplane less but is still beyond my level of comfort for how much it hydroplanes. These are loud tires, road noise and lane changes are loud. Next to my old Rav4 with run flat tires, these are the loudest tires I have ever owned. Winter performance isn't all that great but again, better than expected for an OEM tire. I felt some slippage in light snow and as expected, more slippage in packed snow. Treadwear has been on par with the rating of the tire, but the rating is so low.
This is an expensive tire and for the price and low treadwear rating, I am going to check out my other options when I am in need of new tires.
Pros:
Good Dry Traction/Handling
Predictable Cornering
Tight feel allows you to whip the car around road hazards
Cons:
Hydroplaning
Noisy!
Tires will not last long

...In dry weather this tire is good...
These tires came stock on my new Mazda CX-5. In dry weather this tire is good, but in any sort of standing water on the freeway these tires may as well be ice skates - hydroplane at the slightest amount of standing water at 40+ mph. Not impressed and definitely not safe when driving in wet conditions. I'm trading these in at 30k miles. Tread wear is average, but low for a relatively expensive tire.

...They're relatively comfortable and are a great set of tires, considering they're OEM.
These tires came with my Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring. They've lasted an amazing 68,000 miles and still have 3/32" left, so they're probably last a little past 70,000. They've done so much better than I expected in terms of mileage, but I only drive warm weather highway conditions. They're relatively comfortable and are a great set of tires, considering they're OEM.

...They were pretty good in handling and cornering (and quiet) for the first 25000 miles...
I got this set of Toyo A23 as OEM with my Mazda CX-5. They were pretty good in handling and cornering (and quiet) for the first 25000 miles, but since then they were becoming more and more unreliable. My wife drove the SUV more than I did, she was a very careful driver and never drove fast, still she hit the bumper when there was light snow couple months ago due to the lack of traction at the time. I dumped this set at 42000 miles when the tread was down to about 3/32, right time to replace them with a set of Michelin Premier LTX, which is amazing. I will not recommend this Toyo A23 if anyone wants to switch to it, rather I would recommend the Michelin that I have right now.

Winter traction shows significant concerns, with many scores between 0-5. Customers report slippery snow handling, getting stuck, and poor ice grip. Some 8-10s exist but highlight inconsistent performance.

...Midwest winters are craptastic and so were these tires on ice and snow. Poor traction and control... Do not get these if you drive in any wintery conditions...
Terrible tires for anything other than dry pavement. Midwest winters are craptastic and so were these tires on ice and snow. Poor traction and control. The wear was also garbage. I'll have to replace these in a few months for winter or die in a fiery crash. Do not get these if you drive in any wintery conditions. Were they quiet? Sure. Smooth? Yup. Should have gotten rid of them when I bought the car.

...I live in Massachusetts and the tires are terrible in wet conditions and snow...
These were the factory tires on the 2016 Mazda CX-5 GT. I live in Massachusetts and the tires are terrible in wet conditions and snow. The tires ride decent in dry conditions on the highway but are much nosier than the Goodyears I replaced them with. The Toyos are obviously cheap tires. I've generally gotten 55K out of most tires in the past. At 29,500 these Toyos were worn down and needed to be replaced. Mazda cheaped out on selecting these tires.

...The first time it snowed this season I slid off the road making a turn at low speed. There was less than an inch of snow on the road. These tires had absolutely no traction in the light snow...
Leasing a Mazda CX-5 awd grand touring for 3 years. After 2.5 years and 23000 miles these tires are completely warn out. The first time it snowed this season I slid off the road making a turn at low speed. There was less than an inch of snow on the road. These tires had absolutely no traction in the light snow. The complete lack of traction in the snow was a surprise because they do ok in wet conditions.
These tires have a very disappointing tread life. I was not expecting to replace tires on a low mileage lease.
One of the tires constantly leaked air sice we got the cx5. Two tire shops and the dealer could not find a problem with the weel or tire but it would have low preasure every other month. The other 3 wheels did not have this problem even after tire rotation.

Toyo A23 treadwear shows mixed ratings, with many scoring 0-6. Reports of premature wear and disappointed tread life contrast with some 7-10 scores. All-Season use highlights rapid wear and early replacement concerns despite occasional positive feedback.

These tires had terrible tread wear. Just over 24,000 miles, and the tread is down past the wear bars already. Totally unacceptable for no more miles than are on them...
These tires came factory on this CX-5. We bought the vehicle in the Quad Cities, and moved to AZ. 2 years ago. These tires had terrible tread wear. Just over 24,000 miles, and the tread is down past the wear bars already. Totally unacceptable for no more miles than are on them. We will go with a more durable tread tire next time. Noise and ride comfort are not as important as having a tire that lasts more than a $ 75 bargain brand.

...They are nearly down to the wear bars at only 21,500 miles... They install the cheapest piece of crap tires they can find.
These tires came as standard equipment on my 2019 Mazda CX5. They are nearly down to the wear bars at only 21,500 miles. Mazda makes a great car, but I know now where they cut corners to keep the cost of these vehicles down. They install the cheapest piece of crap tires they can find.

...I'm currently at 29,500 miles on these Toyo tires and they are already COMPLETELY BALD. Toyo shouldn't even be in business producing garbage like this...
Toyo tires came standard on my 2016 Mazda CX-5 FWD Grand Touring Model. For a $30,000+ brand new vehicle, Mazda should have MUCH better standards for a starter tire set. I've never purchased a vehicle with such a terrible set of tires in my life. I'm currently at 29,500 miles on these Toyo tires and they are already COMPLETELY BALD. Toyo shouldn't even be in business producing garbage like this. Please see my comments below:
- Save your money and spend it elsewhere! - For the price getting a 300 treadwear rated tire is a complete scam. Temperature/traction ratings of A doesn't really matter when you have a measly 300 treadwear rating. You can find MUCH better prices for a 225/55R19 tire online that are MUCH higher rated than these!
- Tires have been EXTREMELY noise since Day 1 of owning my vehicle. Driving has always been loud but now that they are bald of course they are even louder. Not a quiet ride by any means.
- Traction in rain/snow is terrible. Even with full tread tires could not grip the road well when raining heavy. Snow is definitely a no-go. Recommend Sport Mode in heavy rain or snow if using a CX-5 with that function.
- Miles driven includes mostly highway with some city driving. Very light loads as i've hardly been carrying any weight in the vehicle other than 2 people in general plus the little ones when traveling. These tires have not been under heavy loads at all. Rotated around 8,000 miles according to manufacturer's specifications.
Please find another set of tires to purchase, i've looked at other poor reviews online and they are pretty much exact same situation i'm in! Don't find yourself in the same situation! Mazda should be embarrassed for even offering these on their CX-5 models and hoping they have since changed to something different than Toyo. SHOP AROUND!! Other sites/stores are offering better brands/warranty for tires for less than these are! I've never had to get new tires before reaching 30,000 miles.
