Know Your Tires
When selecting tires for your Mazda, it's important to used only tires that are approved by Mazda. In addition, it's you should stay up-to-date with the quality of your tires. Either you or your Mazda technician should inspect them for damage, uneven wear, and tire pressure on a regular basis.
Schedule Inspection
Rotate Your Tires Regularly
Since weight is distributed differently across your vehicle, it is important to rotate them regularly. Mazda recommends rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,000 miles for FWD vehicles, and even more often for AWD vehicles. This will ensure even tread wear and help your tires last longer.

Inspect Your Tires
The benefits of tire maintenance go beyond a smooth, safe drive - it will help reduce wear and tear on suspension parts, and extend the life of your vehicle. Because of this, you should inspect your tires personally or have them checked out by a professional at least once per month.
Schedule InspectionCheck Your Tread Wear
The tread on your tires can tell you more than how many miles you've logged. Worn tires should be replaced when the tires' tread-wear bar meets the tread. Have your tires inspected regularly and do not drive on a damaged tire or wheel. Visit your authorized Mazda Dealer for a service inspection to check the wear of your tires for your safety and to maintain your vehicle's best performance.
Note: Measure tread depth away from the tread-wear bar.
Why It's Important
Driving on bald or worn-out tires can make driving unsafe on Longmont roads, so it's important to be mindful of the depth of your tire treads. Rather than having to deal with changing a flat tire, take preventative measures and learn how to monitor tire tread depth courtesy of McDonald Mazda North!
Please refer to your tire warranty guide for additional information.
The Penny Test
Tread depth is measured in 32nds of an inch. Tread depth on new tires typically measures 10/32 inches or 11/32 inches (about a third of an inch), while trucks, SUVs, or winter tires may have deeper treads. When tires reach 2/32 inches, the U.S. Department of Transportation recommends replacing them.
To check whether you've hit the 2/32-inch mark, use the penny test as follows:
- Place a penny in a tire tread groove with Lincoln's head face first in the groove.
- Check if Lincoln's face on the penny disappears between the grooves.
- If it does, your tread is still above 2/32 inches. If you can see all of Lincoln's face, it's time to replace your tire.
- Make sure to repeat with all tires and in various places on each tire.
There are a few other ways for drivers in Longmont to check tire tread depth, including using a tread depth gauge and tread wear indicator bars, as well as asking Mazda tire professionals for assistance.
