WARNING

Using Different Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with different
types of tires is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor brak-
ing, leading to loss of control.
Except when using the temporary
spare tire, use only the same type
tires (radial, bias-belted, bias-type
tires) on all four wheels.

WARNING

Using Wrong-Sized Tires:
Using any other tire size or type than
what is specified for your Mazda
(page 10-9) may seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clearance,
tire clearance, and speedometer cal-
ibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Do not replace
your tires with ‘‘high performance’’
tires or larger-sized tires. Use only
tires that are the correct size speci-
fied for your Mazda.
