▼Replacing a Wheel
WARNING
Always use wheels of the correct size
on your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is
dangerous. Braking and handling could
be affected, leading to loss of control
and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
affect:

Tire fit
 Wheel and bearing life
 Ground clearance
 Snow-chain clearance
 Speedometer calibration
 Headlight aim
 Bumper height
 Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTE
When replacing a wheel, make sure
the new one is the same as the
original factory wheel in diameter,
rim width, and offset (inset/outset).
For details, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Proper tire balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.

Tire Labeling
▼Tire Labeling
Federal law requires tire manufacturers
to place standardized information on
the sidewall of all tires. This
information identifies and describes
the fundamental characteristics of the
tire and also provides a tire
identification
number for safety
standard certification and in case of a
recall.
▼ Information on Passenger Vehicle
Tires
Please refer to the sample below.

P215/65R15 95H 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.
P
Indicates a tire that may be installed on
cars, SUVs, minivans and light trucks as
designated by the Tire and Rim
Association (T&RA).
NOTE
If your tire size does not begin with a
letter this may mean it is designated by
either ETRTO (European Tire and Rim
Technical Organization) or JATMA
(Japan Tire Manufacturing
Association).
215
“215” is the nominal width of the tire
in millimeters. This three-digit number
gives the width in millimeters of the
tire from sidewall edge to sidewall
edge. In general, the larger the
number, the wider the tire.
65
“65” is the aspect ratio. This two-digit
number indicates the tire's ratio of
height to width.
R
“R” is the tire construction symbol. R
indicates “Radial ply construction”.
15
“15” is the wheel rim diameter in
inches.

Tread Wear, Traction and Temperature
Grades
Tr ea d w ea 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 conditions 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 as
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 ASSEMBLY
