•Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tyre pressures to
specification (page 9-9) and inspect the
wheel nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tyres and radial tyres
that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or
studs only from front to rear, not from side
to side. Tyre performance will be reduced if
rotated from side to side.
▼ Replacing a Tyre
WA R N I N G
Always use tyres that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tyres is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and traction
could result in an accident.
Replace all four tyres at the same time:
Replacing just one ty
re is dangerous. It
could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Mazda strongly recommends that you
replace all four tyres at the same time.
If a tyre wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tyre w hen this happens.

You should replace the tyre before the
band crosses the entire tread.
▼Temporary Spare Tyre*
Inspect the temporary spare tyre at least
monthly to make su
re it is properly
inflated and stored.
NOTE
The temporary spare tyre condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.
The temporary spare tyre is easier to
handle because of its construction which is
lighter and smaller than a conventional
tyre. This tyre should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance.
Use the temporary spare tyre only until the
conventional tyre is repaired, which
should be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tyre on page 9-9.
CAUTION
Do not use your temporary spare tyre rim
with a snow tyre or a conventional tyre.
Neither will properly fit and could
damage both tyre and rim.
