have the words

molded into the tire sidewall. This

spare tire is considered

temporary

. Replace the T-type/mini-spare with

a tire of the same size, speed rating and load carrying capacity as the
other road tires as soon as possible.

When driving with the T-type/mini-spare tire

do not:

Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)

Load the vehicle beyond maximum vehicle load rating listed on the

Use commercial car washing equipment

Try to repair the T-type/mini spare tire

WARNING: Failure to follow these guidelines could result in an
increased risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or death.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a dissimilar spare tire/wheel. A
dissimilar spare tire/wheel is defined as a spare tire and/or wheel that is
different in brand, size or appearance from the road tires and wheels. If
you have a dissimilar spare tire/wheel, then it is intended for temporary
use only. This means that if you need to use it, you should replace it as
soon as possible with a road tire/wheel that is the same size and type as
the road tires and wheels that were originally provided by Mazda. If the
dissimilar spare tire or wheel is damaged, it should be replaced rather
than repaired.
