Snow Tires

Use snow tires on all four wheels

Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)
while driving with snow tires. Inflate
snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm

2

, 4.3 psi)

more than recommended on the tire
pressure label (driver's door frame), but
never more than the maximum cold-tire
pressure shown on the tires.

Except Mexico

The vehicle is originally equipped with all
season radials designed to be used all year
around. In some extreme climates you
may find it necessary to replace them with
snow tires during the winter months to
further improve traction on snow and ice
covered roads.

Mexico

The vehicle is originally equipped with
summer tires designed for optimum
traction on wet and dry roads. If your
vehicle is to be used on snow and ice
covered roads, Mazda recommends that
you replace the tires originally equipped
on your vehicle with snow tires during the
winter months.

WARNING

Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all four
wheels:

Using tires different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly affected and result
in an accident.

CAUTION

Check local regulations before using
studded tires.

q

recommended limit, whichever is
lower.

Ø

Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns.

Ø

Ø

Do not use chains on a temporary
spare tire; it may result in damage
to the vehicle and to the tire.

Ø

Do not use chains on roads that
are free of snow or ice. The tires
and chains could be damaged.

Ø

Chains may scratch or chip
aluminum wheels.

NOTE

The tire pressure monitoring system may not
function correctly when using tire chains.

Install the chains on the front tires only.
Do not use chains on the rear tires.
Please consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

Installing the chains
