Toyo  A36

When we purchased our 2019 CX5 my wife and I were originally disappointed to hear that they came with Toyo A36 tires because we were not too pleased with the A23 tires that came with our 2015 Mazda CX 5. Those were across the board mediocre at best and frequently lost air on all four tires. So given that experience I was not optimistic and was prepared to endure the A36 until they were ready to be replaced with something else. Anyway,22,000 miles plus later, I must say these tires are head and heels better than the old A23s in every way possible. I have not yet driven in deep snow yet but they did not disappoint in any other category thus far. I like the (not too) firm ride, and the tire tread is holding up well. For someone who loves to shop and by new tires frequently (from Tire Rack) I might actually buy these again, especially if the tread wear holds up and if they perform well in deep snow.

These were the OEM tires that came with our Mazda CX-5. We use Michelin X-Ice winter tires so I've only used these between May and December. These tires have actually performed quite well. They are noticeably quiet to my ears. Steering response is good and the ride is pretty good as well. These have been much nicer than I expected before having driven any Tokyo tires.

Came as stock tire on new car. My Cx5 has been used for several trips exceeding 2000+ round trip miles. In general, these tires are comfortable, display minimal tread noise, and handle well. They weren't to bad in the snow when new. Tire pressure is critical as their personality changes significantly with a 2 to 3 psi over or under Mazda's recommended pressure. The downside, the tires wore very quickly. At 23K miles the fine siping is nearly gone so the tires are now struggling in wet conditions and light snow. All the tires have worn evenly (no alignment or balance issues) and will have to be replaced soon.

These were the original equipment tires on the CX-5. They seem to be engineered to provide a comfortable, quiet ride. Beyond doing that, they are the worst tires I have ever owned. The traction on dry roads is only fair--the front tires will often squeal under even minimal acceleration. But the tires' true colors become obvious in wet or snowy conditions. They are scary in the wet and terrifying in snow. I have dedicated winter tires, so these tires experience light snow only in the late fall or early spring. Even at that, they cannot handle any slick pavement. We endured them for 20,000 miles and then replaced them with a set of Michelin Cross Climate2s, even though there was plenty of tread left. The difference is night and day. I can't understand why Mazda equips a nice SUV with such dangerous, subpar tires.

This is my second set of A36. Both came as standard on Mazda CX-5s. Overall, this is at best a mediocre and overpriced tire. Dry traction is merely OK while wet traction is below average. Hydroplaning resistance is fair but honestly I'm afraid to push this tire hard enough to chance exceeding its limits. After about 50% wear (15k to 20k miles) they get noisy, hard and unbalanced. My first set got 30k miles, this set miraculously went 48k. I get regular alignments, rotations and am careful about tire pressure, especially in very hot or cold weather. Mazda could do so much better for the price. I get that they want a Japanese brand tire on a Japanese car, but they must buy these for $20 each to make the disastrous decision to put such a crummy tire on a nice car. I've been using General Altimax RT43 and now Altimax RT45 on cars for years and years with great results. Same price range as the Toyo A36 but a much better tire.

These were the original equipment tire on our 2022 CX5. They are quite possibly the worst tires I have had to experience on the many, many cars I've owned. They are quiet enough when new, but quickly deteriorate into obnoxiously loud once they start to wear. For reference, our dedicated winter tires are far more quiet. The comfort over bumps is average. The scary part of these tires is their wet performance. Once they have a few thousand KMs on them, they quickly become dangerous in anything more than a light drizzle. Major hydroplane danger. Wet grip was also poor, as the vehicle would slide VERY easily on wet pavement. Useless in snow or ice if you are unlucky to get caught in a late spring snow. Tread life was highly disappointing, as they were completely toast after one summer season and had to be thrown out when the winters went on. Would not recommend these tires to my worst enemy. Shame on Mazda for even equipping these tires of terror in the first place.

Original OEM supplied tires. Horrible tread wear: Original tread depth: 10.2/32" (per mfg). Measured tread depth at 10,200 miles: 6/32". This is unacceptable. Mediocre to poor snow/ice performance despite the "M+S" designation. Due to Colorado law (tread depth requirement 3/16" on I-70), I now have to get new tires after only 10,000 miles of mostly highway miles! I would never buy these. I definitely don't recommend them.

My wife purchased her CX-5 brand new. I didn't put very much thought into the OE tires, we just wanted to make sure she had a very good AWD system when purchasing the car. Tires have performed average. My wife has had no complaints and has never gotten stuck in Nebraska winters. My major disappointment was the very short tread life (which I suppose is to by expected with OE tires). Overall a decent tire but I would never purchase again as a replacement tire.

I got these tires stock on my new 2018 CX-5, I didn't read any reviews or anything about these tires but I figured them to last at least 40k being on the grand touring edition, but these are barely making it to 25k before they wore right out, definitely would not recommend, they are the super low-end tires.

Tires came installed on 2018 Mazda CX-5. Tread wear after 28,800 is not a problem. Handling and performance is not a problem - but the noise level between 45 mph and 70 mph is truly annoying. Met every maintenance interval at dealer, tires are being rotated and checked for balance, but the high noise level continues.

My vehicle is just 14 months old with 44,000 miles, mostly highway. I have them rotated every 5000 miles as requested, and have seen the worst wear on tires that I have ever seen of all the tires I've ever owned. It's hard to believe that I already need new tires after having this SUV just 14 months now. My advice would be to stay away from Toyo at all cost.
