Tires
▼Tires
For reasons of proper performance,
safety, and better energy
effi ciency,
always maintain recommended tire
in flation pressures and stay within the
recommended load limits and weight
distribution.
WARNING
Using Di fferent Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with di fferent
types of tires is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tire, use only the
same type tires (radial, bias-belted,
bias-type) on all four wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tires:
Using any other tire size than what is
speci fied for the vehicle (page 9-5)
is dangerous. It could seriously a ffect
ride, handling, ground clearance, tire
clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tires that
are the correct size speci fied for the
vehicle.
▼ Tire In
flation Pressure
WARNING
Always in flate the tires to the correct
pressure:
Overin flation or underinfl ation of tires
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tires on page 9-5.
Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve
cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is
dangerous as the correct tire air
pressure cannot be maintained if the
tire valve becomes damaged. If the
vehicle is driven under this condition,
the tire air pressure will decrease
which could result in a serious
accident. Do not use any part for the
tire valve cap that is not a
Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tire pressures monthly when
the tires are cold. Maintain
recommended pressures for the best
ride, handling , and minimum tire
wear.
Refer to the speci fication charts (page
9-5).
NOTE
Always check tire pressure when tires
are cold.
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not
release air from warm tires to adjust
the pressure.
Underin flation can cause reduced
energy e fficiency, uneven and
accelerated tire wear, and poor
sealing of the tire bead, which will
deform the wheel and cause
separation of tire from rim.
Overin flation can produce a harsh
ride, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs in flating, have it inspected.

Pressure
On the tire label you will find the
recommended tire inflation pressure in
both kPa and psi for the tires installed
as original equipment on the vehicle. It
is very important that the inflation
pressure of the tires on your vehicle is
maintained at the recommended
pressure. You should check the tire
pressure regularly to insure that the
proper in flation pressure is maintained.
Refer to Tires on page 9-5.
NOTE
Tire pressures listed on the vehicle
placard or tire information label
indicate the recommended cold tire
in flation pressure, measured when the
tires are cold, after the vehicle has
been parked for at least 3 hours. As
you drive, the temperature in the tire

WARNING
Always check the tire inflation
pressures on a regular basis according
to the recommended tire inflation
pressure on the tire label and in
conjunction with the information in
this owner's manual:
Driving your vehicle with
under-in flated tires is dangerous.
Under-in flation is the most common
cause of failures in any kind of tire and
may result in severe cracking , tread
separation or “blowout”, with
unexpected loss of vehicle control and
increased risk of injury. Under-inflation
increases sidewall flexing and rolling
resistance, resulting in heat buildup
and internal damage to the tire. It
results in unnecessary tire stress,
irregular wear, loss of control and
accidents. A tire can lose up to half of
its air pressure and not appear to be
fl at!
It is impossible to determine whether
or not tires are properly inflated just by
looking at them.
▼ Checking Tire Pressure
1. When you check the air pressure,
make sure the tires are cold
―meaning they are not hot from
driving even a mile.
2. Remove the cap from the valve on
one tire.
3. Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve.
4. Add air to achieve recommended air pressure.
5. If you over fill the tire, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the
center of the valve. Then recheck
the pressure with your tire gauge.
6. Replace the valve cap.
7. Repeat with each tire, including the spare.
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.

▼ Tire Maintenance
Improper or inadequate vehicle
maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some important
maintenance points:
▼Tire
Inflation Pressure
Inspect all tire pressure 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 speci
fied on the vehicle
tire information 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:

WARNING
Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle:
Towing a trailer with this vehicle is
dangerous because it has not been
designed to tow a trailer and doing so
will
aff ect the drive system which could
result in vehicle damage.
This section will guide you in the
proper loading of your vehicle, to keep
your loaded vehicle weight within its
design rating capability. Properly
loading your vehicle will provide
maximum return of vehicle design
performance. Before loading your
vehicle, familiarize yourself with the
following terms for determining your
vehicle's weight ratings, from the
vehicle's Safety Certi fication Label and
Tire and Load Information Label:
WARNING
Overloaded Vehicle:
Overloading a vehi cle is dangerous.
The results of overloading can have
serious consequences in terms of
passenger safety. Too much weight on
a vehicle's suspension system can
cause spring or shock absorber failure,
brake failure, handling or steering
problems, irregular tire wear, tire
failure or other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to
drive and control. It also increases the
distance required for stopping. In cases
of serious overloading , brakes can fail
completely, particularly on steep
grades. The load a tire will carry safely
is a combination of the size of the tire,
its load range, and corresponding
in flation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always
observe the vehicle's weight ratings
from the vehicle's Safety Certi fication
and Tire and Load Information labels.
Base Curb Weight is the weight of the
vehicle including all standard
equipment. It does not include
passengers, cargo, or optional
equipment.

Vehicle Curb Weight is the weight of
your new vehicle when you picked it
up from your dealer plus any
aftermarket equipment.

PAY LOA D
Pay l o a d is the combination weight of
cargo and passengers that the vehicle
is designed to carry. The maximum
payload for your vehicle can be found
on the Tire and Load Information label
on the rear door on the driver's side or
door pillar. Look for “THE
COMBINATION WEIGHT OF
OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX kg or XXX lbs” for
your maximum payload. The payload
listed on the tire label is the maximum
payload for the vehicle as built by the
assembly plant. If any aftermarket or
dealer installed equipment has been
installed on the vehicle, the weight of
the equipment must be subtracted

from the payload listed on the tire
label in order to be accurate.

SAMPLE

CARGO
Cargo Weight includes all weight
added to the Base Curb Weight,
including cargo and optional
equipment.

The cargo weight limit decreases
depending on the number of vehicle
occupants. The cargo weight limit can
be calculated by subtracting the total
weight of the vehicle occupants from
the “combination weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed” value
on the tire label.

Examples: Based on a single occupant
weight of 68 kg (150 lbs), and a value
of 385 kg (849 lbs) for the
“combination weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed”:
The cargo weight limit with one
occupant is 385 kg (849 lbs) － 68 kg
(150 lbs) = 317 kg (699 lbs)
The cargo weight limit with two
occupants is 385 kg (849 lbs) － (68 ×
2) kg ( (150 × 2) lbs) = 249 kg (549
lbs)
If the weight of the occupant increases,
the cargo weight limit decreases by
that much.

GAW (Gross Axle Weight) is the total
weight placed on each axle (front and
rear) - including vehicle curb weight
and all payload.

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) is
the maximum allowable weight that
can be carried by a single axle (front or
rear). These numbers are shown on
the Safety Compliance Certi fication
Label located on the rear door on the
driver's side or door pillar. The total
load on each axle must never exceed
its GAWR.

GVW
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) is the
Vehicle Curb Weight + cargo +
passengers.

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
is the maximum allowable weight of
the fully loaded vehicle (including all
options, equipment, passengers and
cargo). The GVWR is shown on the
Safety Compliance Certification Label
located on the rear door on the
driver's side or door pillar. The GVW
must never exceed the GVWR.
