recommended tyre inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.
WA R N I N G
Using Different Tyre Types:
Driving your vehicle with different types of
tyres is dangerous. It could cause poor
handling and poor braking; leading to loss
of control.
Except for the limited use of the temporary
spare tyre, use only the same type tyres
(radial, bias-belted, bias-type) on all four
wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tyres:
Using any other tyre size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-9) is
dangerous. It could seriously affect ride,
handling, ground clearance, tyre clearance,
and speedometer calibration. This could
cause you to have an accident. Use only
tyres that are the correct size specified for
the vehicle.
▼ Tyre Inflation Pressure
WA R N I N G
Always
inflate the tyres to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tyres is
dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tyre failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tyres on page 9-9.

Proper tyre balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tyres can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.

Avoid driving over obstacles. Also, do
not drive through an automatic car
wash. This tyre's diameter is smaller
than a conventional tyre, so the
ground clearance is reduced.
 Do not use a tyre chain on this tyre
because it will not fit properly.
 Do not use your temporary spare tyre
on any other vehicle, it has been
designed only for your Mazda.
 Use only one temporary spare tyre on
your vehicle at the same time.
