Step 1: Prepare Your Mazda

Step 2: Remove the Old Tire

Step 4: Lower Your Mazda
With the new tire installed and the lug nuts tightened by hand, it's time to lower your Mazda. Use the jack to lower the vehicle until the tire is in contact with the ground. Then, use the lug wrench to fully tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern.
Step 5: Test Your Tires
With the new tire installed and the lug nuts tightened properly, it's time to test your tires. Use the tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure and make sure it's at the recommended level. Take your Mazda for a test drive to make sure the tires are properly balanced and aligned.
