abrasions, have it replaced by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer:

condition, it cannot function at its full
capacity which could result in serious
injury or death.

is the possibility of them becoming
weakened and as a result, they may
not function at their full capacity

periods. Temporary spare tires should
NEVER be used for long drives or
extended periods.

on the front wheels (driving wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tire
on one of the front driving wheels is
dangerous. Handling will be aff ected.
You could lose control of the vehicle,
especially on ice or snow bound roads,
and have an accident. Move a regular
tire to the front wheel and install the
temporary spare tire to the rear.
