Information on “T” type tires

T145/80D16 is an example of a tire
size.

Note:

The temporary tire size for

your vehicle may be different than
this example.

1.

T:

Indicates a type of tire,

designated by the Tire and Rim
Association (T&RA), that is
intended for temporary service
on cars, SUVs, minivans and
light trucks.

2.

145:

Indicates the nominal

width of the tire in millimeters
from sidewall edge to sidewall
edge. In general, the larger the
number, the wider the tire.

3.

80:

Indicates the aspect ratio

which gives the tires ratio of height to width. Numbers of 70 or
lower indicate a short sidewall.

4.

D:

Indicates a “diagonal” type tire.

R:

Indicates a “radial” type tire.

5.

16:

Indicates the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change

your wheel size, you will have to purchase new tires to match the
new wheel diameter.

Location of the tire label

You will find a tire label containing tire inflation pressure by tire size and
other important information located on the B-Pillar or the driver’s door.

TIRE CARE

Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can also cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some of the important maintenance items

Tire inflation pressure

Use a tire gauge to check the tire inflation pressure at least monthly
(check the tire inflation in the spare tire every 6 months) and before
long trips. You are strongly urged to buy a reliable tire pressure gauge, as
automatic service station gauges may be inaccurate. Mazda recommends
the use of a digital or dial type tire pressure gauge rather than a stick
type of tire pressure gauge.
