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.

CAUTION

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring
System)

When replacing/repairing the tires or
wheels or both, have the work done
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer, or
the tire pressure sensors may be
damaged.

NOTE

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

l

When tires with steel wire reinforcement in
the sidewalls are used, the system may not
function correctly even with a genuine
wheel.
Refer to System Error Activation on page
5-31.

l

Be sure to install the tire pressure sensors
whenever tires or wheels are replaced.
Refer to Tires and Wheels on page 5-31.

If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.

Worn tread

You should replace it before the band is
across the entire tread.

NOTE

Tires degrade over time, even when they are
not being used on the road. It is recommended
that tires generally be replaced when they are
6 years or older. Heat caused by hot climates
or frequent high loading conditions can
accelerate the aging process. You should
replace the spare tire when you replace the
other road tires due to the aging of the spare
tire. Regarding the manufacturing week and
year is indicated with 4 digit.
Refer to The tire labeling on page 9-24.

q

Temporary Spare Tire

Inspect the temporary spare tire at least
monthly to make sure it's properly inflated
and stored.

NOTE

The temporary spare tire condition gradually
deteriorates even if it has not been used.
