The best tires for your Mazda CX-9 will depend on several different factors, one of the most important being tire size. For example, the tire size of a 2020
Mazda CX-9 Signature
is P255/50R20. Here’s a breakdown of what that means:
  • The P means the tire is for passenger vehicles.
  • The 255 means the tire is 255 millimeters wide.
  • The 50 means the tire’s height is 50% of its width.
  • The R means the tire’s inner layers lie radially.
  • The 20 refers to its 20-inch diameter
You should be able to find your tire size in your owner’s manual. Pay attention to a tire’s speed rating and load index as well to make sure they’ll be compatible with your Mazda CX-9.
When it comes to tire types, here are some to consider for your Mazda CX-9:
  • All-season car tires: Designed to have better traction, handling, and ride comfort year-round
  • Winter/snow car tires: You can swap your summer tires for these as fall and winter move in to prepare for snowy and icy roads.
  • Ultra-high performance (UHP) tires: These tires can help improve traction and overall handling. Some are year-round, while others are only for warm seasons. However, the tread on UHP tires can wear faster than some all-season tires.
