kilograms in excess of the standard
items which they replace, and not
previously considered in the curb
weight or accessory weight, including
heavy duty brakes, ride levelers, roof
rack, heavy duty battery, and special
trim.

Rim is the metal support (wheel) for a
tire or a tire and tube assembly upon
which the tire beads are seated.Tire Maintenance
▼ Tire Maintenance
Improper or inadequate vehicle
maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some important
maintenance points:
▼Tire
Inflation Pressure
Inspect all tire pressure 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 information 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 on page 9-7 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
WARNING
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.
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or
older. Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high load
ing conditions can
accelerate the aging process. You
should replace the spare tire when you
replace the other road tires due to the
aging of the spare tire. The period in
which the tire was manufactured (both
week and year) is indicated by a 4-digit
number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-22.
▼ Safety Practices
The way you drive has a great deal to
do with your tire mileage and safety.
So cultivate good driving habits for
your own benefit.
Observe posted speed limits and
drive at speeds that are safe for the
existing weather conditions
Avoid fast starts, stops and turnsAvoid potholes and objects on the
road
Do not run over curbs or hit the tire
against the curb when parking
CAUTION
If you feel a sudden vibration or ride
disturbance while driving or you
suspect your tire or vehicle has been
damaged, immediately reduce your
speed. Drive with caution until you can
safely pull
off the road. Stop and
inspect the tire for damage. If the tire
is under-inflated or damaged, deflate
it, remove the tire and rim and replace
it with your spare tire. If you cannot
detect a cause, have the vehicle towed
to the nearest vehicle or tire dealer to
have the vehicle inspected.
