spare tire MAZDA MODEL 626 2001 User Guide

Form No. 8P95-EA-00G
Maintenance8-42NOTE•Warm tires normally exceed
recommended pressures. Don’ t
release air from warm tires to
adjust the pressure.
• Underinflation can cause
reduced fuel economy and poor
sealing of the tire bead, which
will deform the wheel and
cause separation of tire from
rim.
• Overinflation can produce a
harsh ride and a greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.
(Continued)
•Keep your tire pressure at the
correct levels. If one frequently
needs inflating, have it
inspected.
WARNING
!
Incorrect Tire Inflation:Overinflation or underinflation of
tires is dangerous. Adverse
handling or unexpected tire
failure could result in a serious
accident. Always inflate the tires
to the correct pressure (page
10-6).

Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY
spare tire) in rotation.
 Tire rotation
To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires
every 6,000 km (3,750 miles), or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, inspect them for
correct balance.

 Temporary spare tire
Inspect the temporary spare tire at
least monthly to make sure it’ s
properly inflated and stored.
The temporary spare tire is easier to
handle because of its construction. It is
lighter and smaller than a conventional
tire and should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short
distance.
Use the temporary only until the
conventional tire is repaired, which
should be as soon as possible.
Maintain its pressure at 420 kPa (60
psi).
CAUTION
!
• Don’ t use your temporary spare
tire rim with a snow tire or a
conventional tire. Neither will
properly fit and could damage
both tire and rim.
• The temporary spare tire has a
tread life of up to 4,800 km
(3,000 miles), depending on
road conditions and driving
habits.
• When the tread wear solid-band
indicator appears, replace the
tire with the same type of
temporary spare.
Q083-40A2E
Replacing a wheel
When replacing a wheel, make sure
the new one is the same as the original
factory wheel in diameter, rim width,
and offset.
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.
