225/55 R19 Tyres

This is the only tyre I removed and replaced when they were hardly worn: the handling is downright dangerous in even the lightest snow, and in rain: the car simply did not know which end was the front. I replaced them with Michelin Cross Season 2s, where have been superb for the past 30,000 miles.
The P Zeros are utterly unsuited to this vehicle.

Excellent tyre with good grip on the wet.The only downside is maybe that is little bit louder but that can be also subjective.

I fitted these Hankook Winter i*cept evo3 X W330A 225/55R19 99H 3PMSF tyres to my Mazda CX-5 2.0 naturally aspirated (N/A) AWD in November 2024, when the car had 162,742 km (101,123 miles) on the odometer. The tyres were manufactured in 2024, and I have driven 60,558 km (37,628 miles) on them without removing them at any point, including during the summer months. My car currently has 223,300 km (138,752 miles) on the odometer.

In July 2026, I rotated the front and rear tyres because the front tyres had visibly more tread wear than the rear ones. I am still using them in this configuration, but I will be purchasing a new set of winter tyres soon.

Throughout more than 60,000 km (37,000 miles) of driving, including many long-distance journeys, these tyres have given me an excellent sense of security and confidence on the road. I have never experienced any loss of grip or sliding, not even once. They provided excellent traction under hard braking, and their performance on dry roads was also very good. The slight increase in fuel consumption on dry roads was negligible and hardly worth mentioning.

Durability has been another major strength. Despite being used for almost two years in all weather conditions, including summer heat, these 2024-manufactured tyres have shown no cracking, tearing, chunking, or any other signs of structural damage or deformation. Their overall durability has been impressive.

Considering the distance covered and the time they have been in use, the tread is still in reasonably good condition. I am not replacing them because the tread is completely worn out; rather, I believe they have reached the end of their intended service life, and it is time for a new set. There is still some usable tread remaining, and even at this stage, the tyres continue to inspire confidence on both wet and dry roads.

I am extremely satisfied with these tyres. The only real downside is that they are quite noisy, which is particularly noticeable during longer journeys. However, the level of grip, reliability, and confidence they provide far outweighs this drawback.

Because these tyres have made me feel so safe and secure behind the wheel, I have decided to stick with the same brand and model range. I will be purchasing a new set of Hankook Winter i*cept evo tyres manufactured in 2026.

I bought a used CX-5 with these tires and was amazed at how bad they were. They were 3 years old and looked fine with plenty of tread depth. But even on clear dry road in the summer I could spin them a bit just by putting my foot down at 20 mph. (And remember this is an AWD SUV!) I'd get torque steer when accelerating, I assume from uneven traction on the front tires. On greasy damp mornings I could get the whole car sliding around a corner. And after one awful drive in the snow where I barely made it home, I ordered new Pirellis just as soon as I could.

These are fitted as Mazda CX5 OEM.
I was sceptical because of my previous use of some older Bridgestone models. But what a pleasant surprice these Alenza's....Comfortable, predictable, direct, exceptional dry braking and they're quiet really quiet. Only slight weakness for me is straight aquaplaninig, it's strange because in curves the grip is very good...but last week there was a lot of heavy rains in Greece and maybe the water was too deep.
I deffinately recommend these Bridgestones and next time buying tyres they will be in my short list if the price is on par or lower than Pirelli Cinturato p2.
I have some expirience with Michelin Primacy 4 and Good Year models but for my driving stile and landscape that Bridgone Alenza is superior.

Heavy electric car. These have been excellent once worn in. Quieter, smoother and they've tightened the steering considerably. The stiffer tyre suits this car as the suspension is under damped and needs stiffer tyres to force the compression to do it's job. Definitely recommend and will fit same again.

Quiet, Comfortable, good grip, could be better on wet surface but overall i‘m happy
