Mazda B2300 2001 Manual page 169

If you nevertheless decide to equip your
4x4 for off-road use with tires larger than
what Mazda recommends, you should
not use these tires for highway driving.
If you use any tire/wheel combination
not recommended by Mazda, it may
adversely affect vehicle handling and
could cause steering, suspension, axle or
transfer case failure.
Do not use "aftermarket lift kits" or other
suspension modifications, whether or
not they are used with larger tires and
wheels.
These "aftermarket lift kits" could
adversely affect the vehicle's handling
characteristics, which could lead to loss
of vehicle control or rollover and serious
injury.
Tires can be damaged during off-road
use. For your safety, tires that are dam-
aged should not be used for highway
driving because they are more likely to
blow out or fail.
Driving Your Mazda
You should carefully observe the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure found on
the safety compliance certification label
attached to the left front door lock facing
or door latch post pillar. Failure to
follow tire pressure recommendations
can adversely affect the way your
vehicle handles. Do not exceed the
Mazda recommended pressure even if it
is less than the maximum pressure
allowed for the tire.
Each day before you drive, check your
tires. If one looks lower than the others,
use a tire gauge to check pressure of all
tires, and adjust if required. Check tire
pressure with a tire gauge every few
weeks (including spare). Safe operation
requires tires that are neither underin-
flated nor overloaded.
