WARNING
Using Different Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with different
types of tires is dangerous. It
could
cause
poor handling and poor brak

ing, leading to loss of control.
Except when using the temporary
spare tire, use only the same type
tires (radial, bias-belted, bias-type
tires) on all four wheels.
WARNING
Using Wrong-Sized Tires:
Using
any other tire size or type than
what is specified for your Mazda

ride, handling, ground clearance,
tire
clearance, and speedometer cal
-
ibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Do not replace
your
tires with ‘
‘high
performance’
’
tires or larger-sized tires. Use only
tires that are the correct size speci-
fied for your Mazda.
