WARNING: When mounting replacement tires and wheels, you
should not exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the
sidewall of the tire to set the beads without additional
precautions listed below. If the beads do not seat at the
maximum pressure indicated, re-lubricate and try again.
If a pressure in excess of the maximum pressure indicated is
required, the following additional precautions must be taken to
protect the person mounting the tire:
First check to ensure that you have the correct tire and wheel
size.
For mounting pressures up to 20 psi greater than the maximum
pressure on the tire sidewall: When inflating the tire:
1. First, again lubricate the tire bead and wheel bead seat area
2. Stand at a minimum of 12 feet away from the tire wheel assembly
3. Use both eye and ear protection
For a mounting pressure more than 20 psi greater than the
maximum pressure, a Mazda Dealer or other tire service professional
should do the mounting.
Always inflate steel carcass tires with a remote air fill with the
person inflating standing at a minimum of 12 ft. away from the tire
wheel assembly.
Important: Remember to replace the wheel valve stems when the road
tires are replaced on your vehicle.
It is recommended that the two front tires or two rear tires generally be
replaced as a pair.
The tire pressure sensors mounted in the wheels (originally installed on
your vehicle) are not designed to be used in aftermarket wheels.
The use of wheels or tires not recommended by Mazda Motor Corporation
may affect the operation of your Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
If the TPMS indicator is flashing, your TPMS is malfunctioning. Your
replacement tire might be incompatible with your TPMS, or some
component of the TPMS may be damaged.
