The answers that ChatGPT gives are not always flawless.
And in this case, the answers are probably not complete.
But at least it gives information that may be used to move forward...

 

Iam not even sure how to respond to this, when the info you posted was seemingly flawed. This goes without saying why I suggested instead of the easy come to the forum so you don’t have to actually work at finding the best information but you can also learn about the project wanting to do.

But I do appreciate that you post this last response

 

It’s a 2022 Premium Plus with 19” wheels and OEM Toyos. I’m considering changing to 17” but I was quoted >$600 apiece for OEM 17’s by a Mazda dealer, which is why I'm looking for used wheels. The CX-5’s ride is perfectly fine on smooth roads but in New England, we don’t do smooth roads, for climatic reasons.

 

Check online for wheels if you want OEM style 17" wheels. There are lots of places who sell replicas, or refurbished wheels for far less than 600 bucks. Here is one example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/33297526968...3ABFBMsMjPq6pl

 

My 2020 has 19" wheels.
I would lean more toward the OEM Toyo's being your issue.
While Toyo does make some good tires, the ones they put on the CX-5 are literally some of the worst OEM tires to ever come on a vehicle.
As soon as I put on some higher end tires the ride and handling of my CX-5 significantly improved and that is not just my opinion.

 

Thanks, Lobstuh. That’s encouraging info. I'd already decided on getting better tires and was tossing up whether to stick with the 19s or go to 17s.
