Many drivers have to deal with replacing their Mazda tires after one of them becomes flat. It’s important to know how to change a flat tire, and you’ll also want to know everything about how spare tires work and what kind of tire you need. Discover the answers to frequently asked questions about Mazda spare tires at John Lee Mazda.
When Should I Install a Spare Tire?
As its name implies, a spare tire is designed to act as a replacement when one of your tires can’t function properly anymore. You don’t need to install the spare tire unless your tire is flat and unable to be repaired. If all you need to do is pump some air back into the tire, you can do that instead of installing the spare.
What Tire Do I Need?
Every Mazda vehicle has different tire size and tread depth requirements. Knowing what size tires you need for your model lets you choose the correct size spare tire. You’ll also want to consider what kind of tires work best for your driving environment, including all-weather tires and performance-ready rubber.
Can I Drive Quickly on a Temporary Spare Tire?
If you’ve installed a temporary spare tire (also known as a donut tire) onto your vehicle, you need to drive more carefully than usual. These types of spare tires aren’t usually rated for more than 50 MPH. Thus, you need to drive slower than 50 MPH until you replace this tire.
