CX90—Tires made by Falken


Recommended Posts

Apologies, but I am aware that this topic has been discussed before, in 2025. Curious if anyone has heard anything new? Twenty-four CX90s, 17,000km. brought to a nearby mechanic for evaluation. He claimed that both tires were nearly flat.

Got in touch with the dealership and Mazda headquarters via phone calls. Everyone is aware of this issue, and they both think $18,000 is too little. HQ informed me that tires have provisions, but they were unable to provide me with any details. Next week, the dealer will review them and send something to headquarters to be resolved. What I've been reading about "new upgraded Falkens" has me wondering if that's what it will be. Has anyone heard anything unusual? Much obliged.

It's worth noting that the original equipment manufacturer Toyo Open Country A50 tires were installed on my 24 model with 21" wheels. After 38,000 miles (with a few more to go), I got new ones. Some 19" wheels were originally equipped with Toyo Open Country A51 tires. That is, if there is an alternate dealer option that is either free or has a discounted price.

Falken tires are on my 24 CX-90 PHEV. Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tyres were just installed after I put 29K miles on the old ones. In comparison to the new Michelins, the Falkens make an extremely audible racket when driven on rough roads. The Primacy Tour A/S are exceptionally silent thanks to their built-in soundproofing. However, it is pricey. When I showed the dealer the price tag from CostCo, where I purchased the tires, he flat-out denied that he could match it.

According to what I discussed with my regional manager, if you reach 3/32 at or before 15,000 miles, you are eligible for a full replacement. In the subsequent miles, the scale is sliding up to 29,000 miles. A few vendors might even be willing to work with you on 4/32.
To get an official reading of the mileage and wear, you'll need to visit the dealer.
What this means is that the onus is now on the individual dealers rather than on corporate.
