Below, we’ve answered the most commonly asked questions about tire servicing and maintenance.
How Often Should Tires Be Replaced?
Generally, it's advised to change your tires every six to 10 years. But Virginia's hot summers, cold winters, and curving roads can take a toll on that time frame. Watch for worn tread, cracks, bulges, exposed cords, or vibration when driving. Tread depth can be checked at home with a penny – if Lincoln's head is visible, new tires are in order.
What are the Reasons Behind Uneven Tire Wear?
Uneven tread isn't just cosmetic – it is a symptom that something is wrong. It could be your alignment, suspension, tire pressure, or the way you drive. The usual suspects are:
- Incorrect Tire Pressure (Too Much or Too Little)
- Suspension Problems
- Wheel Alignment
- Bald Tires or Tires Out of Balance
- Harsh Driving or Sudden Braking
You might also see edge wear, center wear, or cupping. The sooner you have your Mazda in for a checkup, the easier (and cheaper) the repair.
What is a Good Rotation Routine to Follow?
Rotating your tires every 5,000–7,500 miles enables them to wear evenly, last longer before replacement, and maintain a smooth ride. It's easy to add a tire rotation to your routine oil change so you can get two useful services done at the same time.
How Much is the Recommended Tire Pressure for My Mazda?
The recommended tire pressure for most Mazda models is 32–36 PSI, though the actual figure will be noted on the inside of the driver's door. Proper inflation maximizes your gas mileage, improves vehicle control, and prevents excessive tire wear. If your TPMS light comes on, our service technicians can inspect and balance your tires.
