Tyres

Tyre Rotation

 

Rotate tyres periodically:

Irregular tyre wear is dangerous. To equalize tread wear for maintaining good performance in handling and braking, rotate the tyres every 10,000 km (6,250 miles), or sooner if irregular wear develops.

During rotation, inspect them for correct balance.

 

Also, inspect them for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by one or a combination of the following:

 

  • Incorrect tyre pressure

  • Improper wheel alignment

  • Out-of-balance wheel

  • Severe braking

 

After rotation, inflate all tyre pressures to specification (Search) and inspect the wheel nuts for tightness.

 

Rotate unidirectional tyres and radial tyres that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or studs only from front to rear, not from side to side. Tyre performance will be reduced if rotated from side to side.

Replacing a Tyre

 

Always use tyres that are in good condition:

Driving with worn tyres is dangerous. Reduced braking, steering, and traction could result in an accident.

Replace all four tyres at the same time:

Replacing just one tyre is dangerous. It could cause poor handling and poor braking resulting in loss of vehicle control. Mazda strongly recommends that you replace all four tyres at the same time.

If a tyre wears evenly, a wear indicator will appear as a solid band across the tread.

Replace the tyre when this happens.

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