Tires

For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tire inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.

WARNING

Using Di

ff

erent Tire Types:

Driving your vehicle with di

ff

erent types of

tires is dangerous. It could cause poor

handling and poor braking; leading to loss

of control.

Except for the limited use of the temporary

spare tire, use only the same type tires

(radial, bias-belted, bias-type) on all four

wheels.

Using Wrong-Sized Tires:

Using any other tire size than what is

speci

fi

ed for the vehicle (page 9-9) is

dangerous. It could seriously a

ff

ect ride,

handling, ground clearance, tire clearance,

and speedometer calibration. This could

cause you to have an accident. Use only

tires that are the correct size speci

fi

ed for

the vehicle.

Tire Inflation Pressure

WARNING

Always in

fl

ate the tires to the correct

pressure:

Overin

fl

ation or underin

fl

ation of tires is

dangerous. Adverse handling or

unexpected tire failure could result in a

serious accident.

Refer to Tires on page 9-9.

Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve cap:

Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous as

the correct tire air pressure cannot be

maintained if the tire valve becomes

damaged. If the vehicle is driven under this

condition, the tire air pressure will decrease

which could result in a serious accident. Do

not use any part for the tire valve cap that

is not a Mazda-genuine part.

Inspect all tire pressures monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for
the best ride, handling, and minimum tire
wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page
9-9).

NOTE

x

Always check tire pressure when tires
are cold.

x

Warm tires normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tires to adjust the
pressure.
