and have an accident. Move a regular

When using the temporary spare tire,
driving stability may decrease compared

spare tire or to the vehicle, observe the
following precautions:

wash. This tire's diameter is smaller
than a conventional tire, so the

tire on any other vehicle, it has been
designed only for your Mazda.
