Spare Tire

used only for VERY short periods.
Temporary spares should NEVER be used
for long drives or extended periods.

Driving with a Temporary Spare Tire on Ice or Snow:Driving with a spare tire on the front
(driving) wheels on ice or snow is
dangerous. Handling will be affected.
You could lose control of the vehicle
and have an accident. Put the spare
tire on the rear axle and move a
regular tire to the front.
To avoid damage to the temporary
spare or to the vehicle, observe the
following precautions:
•
Don’t exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
•
Avoid driving over obstacles. Also,
don’t drive through an automatic car
wash. This tire’s diameter is smaller
than a conventional tire, so the
ground clearance is reduced about
43 mm (1.7 in).
•
Don’t use a tire chain on this tire
because it won’t fit properly.
•
Don’t use your temporary spare on
any other vehicle, it has been
designed only for your Mazda.
•
Use only one temporary spare tire
on your vehicle at the same time.
