Replacing the tires
Replace the tires when the wear
band is visible through the tire
treads.
WARNING: When replacing full size tires, never mix radial
bias-belted, or bias-type tires. Use only the tire sizes that are
listed on the Certification Label. Make sure that all tires are
the same size, speed rating, and load-carrying capacity. Use only
the tire combinations recommended on the label. If you do not
follow these precautions, your vehicle handling may be affected
which can lead to loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover and/or
personal injury.
WARNING: Make sure that all replacement tires are of the
same size, type, load=carrying capacity and tread (e.g., “All
Terrain”, etc.), as originally offered by Mazda. Failure to do so
can result in tire failure and a serious accident.
WARNING: Do not replace your tires with “high performance”
tires or larger size tires.
WARNING: Failure to follow these precautions may adversely
affect the handling of the vehicle, and increase the risk of loss
of vehicle control, vehicle rollover and/or personal injury.
Tires that are larger or smaller than your vehicle’s original tires may also
affect the accuracy of your speedometer.
