damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:
w Replacing a Tire
WARNING
•
•
•
•
Incorrect tire pressure
Improper wheel alignment
Out-of-balance wheel
Severe braking
Worn Tires:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.
Always use tires that are in good
condition.
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 10-6) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
CAUTION
Tread wear indicator
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 weakened if rotated from side
to side.
New tread
Worn tread
CAUTION
Limited-Slip Differential system;
don’t use the following:
You may need to replace it before the
band is across the entire tread.
•
•
Tires not of the designated size
Tires of different sizes or types at
the same time
•
Tires not sufficiently inflated
If these instructions aren’t 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.

Automotive readers have rated 2003 Mazda MX 5 Miata Owners Manual 1.0 out of 1.0 based on 1 product reviews. No matter what I do this will not download. I have followed all instructions and even the instructions for override because Windows states this software has undesirable problems ( but it makes the same claim for all Mazda Manuals I've found on the net) Now I am also unablre to review pages of the manual. I'm being stopped at the cover. I need access to this manual. Please help.
