Tread Wear, Traction and Temperature
Grades
Tr e a d w e a r : The tread wear grade is a
comparative rating based on the wear rate
of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government test
course. For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times
as well on the government course as a tire
graded 100.
Traction: The traction grades, from
highest to lowest are AA, A, B, and C.
The grades represent the tire's ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditi ons on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Temperature: The temperature grades are
A (the highest), B and C, representing the
tire's resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel.
Snow Tires
In some heavy snow areas, local
governments may require true snow tires,
those with very deeply cut tread. These
tires should only be used in pairs or placed
on all four wheels. Make sure you
purchase snow tires that are the same size
and construction type a s the other tires on
your vehicle.
SAFETY WARNING
The following safety warning appears on
the tire's sidewall.
SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT
FROM:
EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM

T115/70D16 90M is an example of a tire
size and load index rating. Here is an
explanation of the various components of
that tire size and load index rating. Note
that the tire size and load index rating may
be different from the example.
T
Indicates a tire that may be installed on
cars, SUVs, minivans and light trucks as
designated by the Tire and Rim
Association (T&RA).
11 5
“115” is the nominal w idth of the tire in
millimeters. This three-digit number gives
the width in millimet ers of the tire from
sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In general,
the larger the number, the wider the tire.
70
“70” is the aspect ratio. This two-digit
number indicates the tire's ratio of height
to width.
D
“D” is the tire construction symbol. D
indicates “diagonal ply construction”.
16
“16” is the wheel rim diameter in inches.
90
“90” is the Load Index. This two-or
three-digit number indicates how much
weight each tire can support.
M
“M” is the speed rating. The speed rating
denotes the maximum speed for which the
use of the tire is rated.
Letter Rating Speed Rating M8 1 m ph

7. Repeat with each tire, including thespare.
NOTE
Some spare tires require higher
inflation pressure.
8. Visually inspect the tires to make sure
there are no nails or other objects
embedded that could poke a hole in the
tire and cause an air leak.
9. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges, cracks or
other irregularities.
▼Glossary of Terms
Tire Placard:
A label indicating the OE
tire sizes, recommended inflation pressure,
and the maximum weight the vehicle can
carry.
Tire Identification Number (TIN): A
number on the sidewall of each tire
providing information about the tire brand
and manufacturing plant, tire size, and
date of manufacture.
Inflation Pressure: A measure of the
amount of air in a tire.
kPa: Kilopascal, the metric unit for air
pressure.
psi: Pounds per square inch, the English
unit for air pressure.
B-pillar: The structural member at the
side of the vehicle behind the front door.
Original Equipment (OE): Describes
components originally equipped on the
vehicle.
Vehicle Load Limit: The maximum value
of the combination weight of occupants
and cargo.
Bead Area of the Tire: Area of the tire
next to the rim.
Sidewall Area of the Tire: Area between
the bead area and the tread.
Tread Area of the Tire: Area on the
perimeter of the tire t hat contacts the road
when it's mounted on the vehicle.

Seating capacity means the total
allowable number of vehicle occupants.
Seating capacity is described on the tire
label.

Production options weight is the
combination weight of installed regular
production options weighing over 2.3
kilograms in excess of the standard items
which they replace, and not previously
considered in the curb weight or accessory
weight, including heavy duty brakes, ride
levelers, roof rack, heavy duty battery, and
special trim.

Rim is the metal support (wheel) for a tire
or a tire and tube assembly upon which the
tire beads are seated.

Tire Maintenance
▼Tire Maintenance
Improper or inad
equate vehicle
maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some important
maintenance points:
▼ Tire Inflation Pressure
Inspect all tire p
ressure monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for
the best ride, top handling, and minimum
tire wear. Use the pressures specified on
the vehicle tire inform ation placard or tire
label for optimum service.
▼ Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires
every 16,000 km (10,000 miles) at the
latest or sooner if irregular wear develops.
Mazda recommends to rotate every 8,000
km (5,000 miles) to help increase tire life
and distribute wear more evenly.
1. Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.

Inspect the tires for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:
Incorrect tire pressure
Improper wheel alignment
Out-of-balance wheel
Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 9-9) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires
that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or
studs only from front to rear, not from side
to side. Tire performance will be weakened
if rotated from side to side.
▼ Replacing a Tire
WA R N I N G
Always use tires that are in good condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and traction
could result in an accident.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator

You should replace the tire before the band
crosses the entire tread.
