NOTE

Always check tire pressure when tires
are cold.

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

Underinflation can cause reduced fuel
economy, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and poor sealing of the tire bead,
which will deform the wheel and cause
separation of tire from rim.

Overinflation can produce a harsh ride,
uneven and accelerated tire wear, and a
greater possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs inflating,
have it inspected.

Tire Rotation

WARNING

Rotate tires periodically:

Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining good
performance in handling and braking,
rotate the tires every 12,000 km (7,500
miles). However Mazda recommends to
rotate every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) to help
increase tire life and distribute wear more
evenly.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance on page
6-4.
 

During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.
 

Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY) 
spare tire in rotation.

Forward

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
