Rotating the Tires
WARNING
Rotate tires periodically.
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining
good performance in handling and
braking, rotate the tires periodically or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
Please refer to Scheduled Maintenance
for your tire rotation interval.
During rotation, inspect them for
correct balance.
NOTE
Because your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, you cannot do a tire
rotation safely with the jack that comes
with your vehicle. Have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer perform tire rotation.
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.
Also, inspect them for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually
caused by one or a combination of the
following:
Incorrect tire pressure
Improper wheel alignment
Out-of-balance wheel
Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures
to specification (page 10-65) and
inspect the lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial
tires that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to rear,
not from side to side. Tire performance
will be reduced if rotated from side to
side.
(With limited-slip differential)
Do not use the following:
Tires not of the designated size
Tires of different sizes or types at the
same time
Tires not sufficiently inflated
If these instructions are not followed,
the rotation of the left and right wheels
will be
different
and will thus apply a
constant load on the limited-slip
differential.
This will cause a malfunction.
