2006 Mazda MAZDA5 Tires Problems

“I have also had excessive tire wear on toyo proxes 205/50/17. The tires are wearing on the inside, almost to the point of the belts showing. There are approximately 26,000 miles on the car and I have personally rotated the tires four times. There has also been roaring almost wheel bearing like noises for the last 15,000+ miles. Tire pressure is always properly maintained.”

“Tires-premature wear. Tires become cupped. I have driven the vehicle for 26,000 miles and had to replace all tires at 21,000 due to noise. Problem was first reported at 17,000 miles. I have 5,000 on the new tires and the noise is back. Noise sounds just like bad bearings. Dealer said there is nothing wrong with the vehicle and can not explain the reason for the abnormal tire wear.”

“1. Purchase vehicle used in 2009 with 170,000 kms 2. Since day one, have had issues with door latches / lock and unlock - happens on random occassions and especially in cold/ wet or humid conditions. On several occassions I have been unable to lock / unlock the rear passenger doors using the keyfob or the interior vehicle switches, (I have to unlock/lock the rear vehicle doors manually). 2. Today for the first time, the rear passenger door flew open (while driving) as it did not latched closed. …”

“The 2006 MAZDA5 causes excessive wear on tires quite frequently. I purchased my MAZDA5 new in august 2006, and since then, I've had to purchase 2 sets of tires for this car due to the tires wearing on the inside edge. The 2nd set of tires that were replaced were so bad, that the service person at the dealership recommend that I do not drive the car off the lot because the tires hard worn so badly and could blow out at any moment. Those tires had only about 26000 miles on them! …”

“I own a 2006 Mazda 5 I have had the tires balanced 4 times and the front end alignment checked, my tires had to be replaced due to excessive cupping on all four tires, I have had the tires balanced at least four times, they had just over 29,000 miles, the tire size is 205/50vr 17 (toyo). I have never had to replace tires this early, and needless to say these tires are expensive, I was just wondering if you have had any other complaints about this specific tire size and manufacturer.”
