I order mine from http://www.tirerack.com/ and have them installed by a local store. You can pick out exactly what you want from them, and get reviews and research info there. It's almost always cheaper than buying local.

I ordered Yokohama Spec-X Paradas from Tirerack and I've been happy with them. It improved the ride and has had great traction in light snow so far. My only complaint is the tires sing a bit on certain types of asphalt at high speeds.

All...thanks for posting the tire tips for the CX-9. We have a 2008 Touring - no AWD. I live in the Philly suburbs and the past two (2) winters have seen more snowfall than normal. The Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400s are durable (50K+) but are AWFUL in snow and moderate snow at that (e.g., 3-5 inches).

I'll add my two (2) cents regarding the Goodyear Wranglers, Yokohama Parada Spec-X, or other tire should I pick something else.

Ask any Mazda3 driver cursed with Goodyear Ealgle RS-As from the factory what they think about their tires; you'll get one of two responses, 1) a look of clueless confusion (in which case it's time to ask someone else), or 2) a short and sweet "They SUCK!" I fall into category #2.

Checkout the Continental DWS Extreme Contact tires.. have a 2008 CX-9 Touring with AWD... awesome upgrade from the OEM tires.. I run these also on my Infinti G35x... both are like running on rails!! awesome on dry... wet AND snow!

Tire Rack. Got a great price on Pirelli Scorpions. TR shipped them ASAP to a recommended installer place nearby. No hassles.
