  Q: How can common sense and good driving habits maximize the life of alloy wheels on Mazda Millenia?

  A:

  To ensure maximum life of tires, common sense and good driving habits will help to avoid overloading the vehicle, and the right tire pressure will avoid tread wear. High acceleration, acceleration and deceleration, and high-speed cornering may also reduce the life of tires. To ensure maximum tire life, provide correct inflation, change tires frequently and check wheel alignment occasionally. Regular inspection is necessary, including the search of the bubbles in the tread or sidewall, deep cuts, or under-inflation, and changing tires with bubbles in the sidewall, or deep cuts, which extend to the cords. Lateral tread wear can be the sign of an alignment/balance problem. Tires must also be swapped every now and then to level the wear and tear and unidirectional tires should always be rolled in the same direction only reversed front-to-rear or rear-to-front on the same side. The spare is small and is only to be used in case of emergency and cannot be considered during rotation of the tires. To achieve optimum performance, tires should be used in groups of four and not mixed in terms of brands or types. When fitted with radial tires, the sizes and wheel diameters should be the same as those of the original tires and should not be fitted with radial tires in the front axle only. Note the size of the original tire printed on the tire and should one change to a new size/brand of tire, ensure that there is no interference with the body or the suspension parts. Good radial tires are good in wet roads, but snow radial does not have a good tread, and snow tires are more recommended. M + S is a designation assigned to most snow tires or they are labeled as all-season and four snow tires are recommended to stay stable. Keep in mind to buy additional snow tire wheels so that in case of seasonal change they would not get damaged. Keep tires in cool and dry conditions, not near direct moisture and concrete floors, and keep them in a flat, and not an upright position. Tire inflation is very important in performance, and thus tire pressure should be checked regularly, particularly when the tire is cold using a good gauge. Also do not exceed the maximum tire pressure that is embossed on the tire, refer to the vehicle to get the proper pressure. Getting used to the braking and handling of the vehicle will be a gradual process and a little bit of alteration in the tire pressure will be able to fine-tune the performance although cold pressure specification should not be altered more than 2 psi. Tread wear indicators indicate when the tires need replacement and measuring the depth of the tread can be done with a gauge or a Lincoln penny, in case the head of Lincoln is visible in two adjacent grooves then the tire must be replaced.

  Q: How to remove and install a tire on Alloy Wheels on Mazda Millenia?

  A:

  To replace or change a tire, it is important to park the car on a flat area and put a jack, tire iron and spare tire together (where necessary). Find jacking points of your vehicle and place jack respectively. In case of trim caps on the lug nuts, remove them as necessary and in case there is a wheel cover or hub cap, loosen it with the tire iron. Turn on the parking brake and lock the opposite wheel that is at right angles with chocks that can either be bought or made out of wood. With an automatic-transmission car, turn the selection to Park; with a manual one, to Reverse. Having loosened the lug nuts with the tire iron on the ground, place the tires onto the ground. When stuck nuts do not budge, a few hard blows of the hammer on the bolt may assist. After the loosening, lift the vehicle using jack and hold it using jackstands. Take out the lug wrench and the wheel and tire assembly. Before attaching the new tire and wheel assembly, make sure that the mating surfaces are clean and without rust before tightening the lug nuts by hand. Lock all the lug nuts in a crisscross fashion until it fits tight and then lift the vehicle lifting off the jackstands and dropping down. Tighten the lug nuts with a torque wrench to 87 ft. lbs. in a crisscross pattern with care not to over tighten. Assuming it is applicable, install the wheel cover/hub cap, making sure that the valve stem is correctly seated and fit the lug nut trim caps. Lastly, put back jack and tire iron, take away the wheel chucks and in case a flat tire was taken off; put it back in the storage section to repair it. Check tires to ensure that there are no tears or punctures or tire treads and check wheel assemblies to be sure that they are not worn or tired and make appropriate repairs or replacement.
