Every month, you or your Mazda technician should inspect your tires for damage, uneven wear and tire pressure.

The benefits of tire maintenance goes beyond a smooth, safe drive – it will help reduce wear and tear on suspension parts and extend the life of your vehicle.

Alignment positions the wheels of a vehicle in correct relation to each other and to the vehicle structure. Proper wheel alignment is essential to the safe, smooth operation of a vehicle. Mazda highly recommends having your vehicle alignment checked regularly by a service technician who knows and understands your vehicle, so the job is performed quickly and correctly the first time.

All Mazda vehicles are equipped with “All-Season” original equipment tires. With harder rubber compounds than performance tires, all-season tires have longer tread life and provide a quieter ride. Deeply grooved treads take rainwater away from the tire and the tread design provides low rolling resistance and improved fuel efficiency.

From temperatures of 7°C and below, summer and all-season tires may no longer provide optimum grip as their rubber compound can harden, essentially causing them to slide like a hockey puck on the ice. This negatively impacts braking, steering, and drive response on dry pavement, and especially on wet, icy, or snow-covered roads. By contrast, Mazda-Approved, cold weather, winter tires have been specially designed to perform in these conditions. Winter tires have better grip in cold weather. They help your vehicle perform in all types of challenging winter conditions – snow, ice, sleet, slush, wet and even cold, dry roads.
