We've owned our Mazda 5 2006 since 2009. There were 22,000 miles on the car when we purchased it. In 2016, it has 138,000 miles. During our ownership, we have purchased 2 new tires at 60,000, 2 new tires at 73,000, 2 new tires at 82,000, 2 new tires at 104,000, 1 tire at 107,000, 2 new tires at 116,000, and 1 new tire at 124,000. We are responsible about rotating and balancing the tires every 5-6,000 miles. The tires have been punctured on at least 3 occasions, due to uneven wear. We replaced the front struts and rear shocks at 126,000 miles in hopes of correcting uneven wear (done by the Mazda dealer). We were just notified today that one tire has again worn unevenly (on the inside, as has always been the issue. . . ) we are careful drivers and owners and have never had (not heard of) a car with these kinds of uneven tire wear problems. Most miles have been added in the city, but we have taken the vehicle on several long-distance vacations. We have all of the documentation but don't have the time to upload at this moment. Please let us know if you want the documents.
Purchased 06 Mazda 5 touring in 8/2007 - had first problem with tires - had blow out on highway - pulled off road - husband came and noted the inner wall of tire was worn badly and blew - on outsude tires appeal fine but was told all 4 tires needed replaced due to wear on inner walls. Replaced - 1. 5 years later - smae inner wall wear issues - replaced tires. 1 year later - replace front struts - 6 months later - replaced front two tires due to inner wall wear. 1 year later replace all four tires due to inner wall wear - told today that I will need new tires once again. . . . Same issue, inner wall wear - also told I will need new front and rear suspension. Per multiple sites, this appears to be an ongoing issue and creates saftey risks. . . . Needs to be addresses by Mazda ASAP!.
