SINCE PURCHASE FROM DEALER, THE TIRES CONSISTENTLY DEVELOPED EDGE WEAR /CUPPING ON THE INNER EDGE OF BOTH FRONT AND BACK. THE FIRST SET WERE REPLACED AFTER APPROX 23K MILES. AFTER APPROX 25K MILES THE SAME PATTERN OF WEAR HAD OCCURRED FRONT AND BACK. AT FIRST WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, ALIGNMENT WAS INSPECTED AND I WAS TOLD THE MATTER WAS PROBABLY DUE TO POOR TIRES. WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING AGAIN, I'VE CONTACTED MAZDA FOR ASSISTANCE.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2014 Mazda Mazda5 verdict →
