▼ Tyre Rotation
WARNING
Rotate tyres periodically:
Irregular tyre wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining good
performance in handling and braking,
rotate the tyres every 10,000 km (6,250
miles), or sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.
NOTE
(Without temporary spare tyre)
Because your vehicle is not equipped with
a spare tyre, you cannot do a tyre rotation
safely with the jack that comes with your
vehicle. Have an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer perform tyre rotation.
Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tyre in rotation.
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:
Incorrect tyre pressure

Improper wheel alignment

Out-of-balance wheel

6-48
Severe braking

After rotation, inflate all tyre pressures to
specification (page 9-10) 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
WARNING
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 tyre 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.
