Yep. Showroom/dealer usually over inflate the tire because they tend to keep the car for a while. I released mine back to the recommended value as I felt it's too stiff on the ride.

Normal practice by factory/showroom/dealers as they don't know how long will the cars be kept in storage.

Yaya... I'm know is their practice too.
But I thought they ll prepare the car in "perfect" condition including release the tyre pressure to normal sweat.gif

Did you check the tyre pressure when or after collection of your car?

I get my on Saturday. Felt the same vibration when driving. Go Petrol station check.
The tyre pressure is 350kpa++

Everybody noticed that??

In door side tyre pressure guide is 240kpa to 280kpa recommended.

yes I did right after collecting the car. It was 400kpa +- for all four tyres. I released the air and had it pumped to 240kpa.

Your usage is almost similar to mine as my daily commute from home to work is about 85km both ways.
Within 3-4 months, with the occasional balik kampung trips and weekends errands, easily clocked 10k.

One of the reason why I opted for the 2.2D Fwd

Wah, diff level and diff animal all together.

SA kept pushing me to try the 2.2D, and I knew once I did, it will be no turning back. I declined politely. blush.gif

Same here.. released the air immediately after collecting the car and pump only 230kpa as per recommendation for 17" none full load. Super comfortable and quiet.

Hi all,

Just gotten my CX5 3days ago but discovered some bubbles at front window screen. Send the pics to SA and she reply that the tint is from HQ then send me a website to ask me to send my car there to fix. When I open the website, it is Konica website with branch office address. When I goggle-map it, it just a normal office instead of workshop. I informed SA about this and send my car back to the showroom. Her supervisor took few picture and told me that he will let me know in two days time.

Anyone got any issue with Skytint? What is the normal procedure to get the tint fixed? Mazda SC should fix it or there is other authorised third party workshop that can fix it?

Appreciate your input on this. Thanks.

If you have the budget for tint, just scrap it off... its a very lousy tint that we had to pay for.. with the current weather, your CX5 will be like a moving oven.. ranting.gif

Honestly the front windscreen is f*&King lame, the sides and back were not too bad IMHO.

I've been using 3M Crystalline for most of my cars previously, and of course the performance is like 100% for CR and the Skytint is around 65%.

Am thinking of not spending so much as 3M CR price has went up by a lot, and am thinking of just getting the magnetic sun shade at RM250 for 7 pieces for the time being. blush.gif

Can't use the magnetic sun shade for the front windscreen. I can't tolerate it after 1 month. The windscreen tint is so bad that it burns my leg during a hot afternoon. I put another layer of cheap but good tint like Canny Cool.

Yes and I am thinking after getting the magnetic shade, I will either replace the front with 3M CR 70 which will cost me RM800 - RM900, or just add in another layer which many said is not advisable.
