Owner Maintenance

Form No. 8T02-EA-03L

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.

▼

Tire Inflation Pressure

Inspect all tire pressures monthly 
(including the spare) when the tires are 
cold. Maintain recommended pressures 
for the best ride, top handling, and 
minimum tire wear.

Refer to the specification charts (page 
10-6).

Tires

Using Different Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with different 
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 
specified for your Mazda (page 10-6) 
is dangerous. It could seriously affect 
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 specified for your 
Mazda.

WARNING

Incorrect Tire Inflation:
Overinflation or underinflation of 
tires is dangerous. Adverse handling 
or unexpected tire failure could result 
in a serious accident. Always inflate 
the tires to the correct pressure (page 
10-6).
