Mazda Spare Tire

Mazda's spare tire, also known as a 'doughnut', is a temporary solution designed to get the vehicle from the location of a puncture to a workshop for proper repair or replacement. It's usually significantly smaller than the vehicle's regular wheels and operates at a much lower PSI (around 60), limiting its usage to a top speed of 50mph for a maximum distance of 50 miles. The size of the spare tire varies according to the model and make of the Mazda vehicle; for example, a Mazda 3 from 2010 is equipped with a T125/70D16 spare tire, meaning its size is equivalent to a regular tire's width of 125mm, aspect ratio of 70, a diameter of 16 inches, and has a load index and speed rating of 96M. Mazda urges its owners to replace this spare tire with a normal one as soon as possible since driving with a doughnut spare tire impedes the car's handling and braking capabilities.
