Tire Maintenance
▼Tire Maintenance
Improper or inad
equate vehicle
maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some important
maintenance points:
▼ Tire Inflation Pressure
Inspect all tire p
ressure monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for
the best ride, top handling, and minimum
tire wear. Use the pressures specified on
the vehicle tire inform ation placard or tire
label for optimum service.
▼ Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires
every 16,000 km (10,000 miles) at the
latest or sooner if irregular wear develops.
Mazda recommends to rotate every 8,000
km (5,000 miles) to help increase tire life
and distribute wear more evenly.
1. Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.

Inspect the tires 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
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 9-9) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires
that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or
studs only from front to rear, not from side
to side. Tire performance will be weakened
if rotated from side to side.
▼ Replacing a Tire
WA R N I N G
Always use tires that are in good condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and traction
could result in an accident.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator

You should replace the tire before the band
crosses the entire tread.
