Mazda CX-3: Tires / Tire Rotation

Mazda CX-3 (2015-2025) Owner's Manual / Maintenance and Care / Owner Maintenance / Tires / Tire Rotation

WARNING

Rotate tires periodically: Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To equalize tread wear for maintaining good performance in handling and braking, rotate the tires every 12,000 km (7,500 miles). However Mazda recommends to rotate every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) to help increase tire life and distribute wear more evenly.

Refer to Scheduled Maintenance.

During rotation, inspect them for correct balance.

Mazda CX-3. 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 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.

Tire Inflation Pressure

WARNING Always inflate the tires to the correct pressure: Overinflation or underinflation of tires is dangerous. Adverse handling or unexpected tire failure could result in a serious accident...

Replacing a Tire

WARNING Always use tires that are in good condition: Driving with worn tires is dangerous. Reduced braking, steering, and traction could result in an accident...
