Replacing a Tire; Always use tires that are in good; Replace all four tires at the same- Page 473

Also, inspect them for uneven wear

and damage. Abnormal wear is usually

caused by one or a combination of the

following:



Incorrect tire pressure



Improper wheel alignment



Out-of-balance wheel



Severe braking

After rotation, in

fl

ate all tire pressures

to speci

fi

cation on page 9-10 and

inspect the lug nuts for tightness.

CAUTION

Rotate unidirectional tires and radial

tires that have an asymmetrical tread

pattern or studs only from front to rear,

not from side to side. Tire performance

will be reduced if rotated from side to

side.

Replacing a Tire

WARNING

Always use tires that are in good

condition:

Driving with worn tires is dangerous.

Reduced braking, steering, and

traction could result in an accident.

Replace all four tires at the same

time:

Replacing just one tire is dangerous. It

could cause poor handling and poor

braking resulting in loss of vehicle

control. Mazda strongly recommends

that you replace all four tires at the

same time.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator

will appear as a solid band across the

tread.

Replace the tire when this happens.

1. New tread

2. Worn tread

3. Tread wear indicator

You should replace the tire before the

band crosses the entire tread.
