#51 of 267 Re: TPMS Sensor Removal [zatwell] by bluebayou Dec 17, 2007 (2:39 pm)
Replying to: zatwell (Dec 17, 2007 8:23 am) To tell you the truth, I'm not sure it even beeps once. The "dinger" on this car is so quite that I rarely hear it.   None the less, it might beep once. Then it flashes for a couple of minutes then it stays on. It has not bothered me one bit. Any annoyance would be offset by the $300 savings for the TPMS. I'm not a big fan of that stuff anyway. Just like the stability control..... that stuff just irks me to no end. Hope this helps.   If you think that the light would bother you, I am sure you could get some black vinyl and cut a littl circle out to cover the light.   Happy snow running. The car is awesome with some good tires on it. The RSA are really bad in the snow.

#54 of 267 reducing wheel width by jfa1 Feb 19, 2008 (8:54 am)
I just bought a mazda 3 hatch with 205/50-17's. I'm thinking about getting new wheels and tires to improve my snow handling. Now I know I can reduce the diameter of the wheels to a 16" rim, but is it possible to reduce the width as well? Something under the standard 6.5"? Or if that is not possible, how thin a tire could I put on 6.5" rim?
#55 of 267 Re: Tire Pressure Problem [autonomous] by mazda3owner3 Mar 05, 2008 (7:30 am)
Replying to: autonomous (Dec 05, 2007 11:29 am) I have noticed the same problem on my Mazda3. It's been about 2 or 3 months since my low pressure alarm went off. This morning it happened again, it seems to be happening everytime out temps dip into the 30's. I live in the southeast and temps can change rapidly. I don't have a leak in any of my tires, but it seems to be a thing with low profile tires.
#56 of 267 low profile tires a MUST on Mazda3?? by mazda3owner3 Mar 05, 2008 (7:47 am)
I am new to this , but I need to know: am I stuck with my low profile tires on my Mazda3 hatchback or can I switch to standard tires? Do I have to have new rims in order to do that? Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Mar 05, 2008 9:51 am) mazda3owner3 (Mar 05, 2008 10:48 am)

Replying to: mazda3owner3 (Mar 05, 2008 7:47 am) If you want to switch to higher profile tires, you'll need new rims. The overall diameter of the tires will be the same, it's just that more of that overall diameter will be made up of tire with higher profile tires.

#59 of 267 Re: Tire Pressure Problem [mayache] by mazdrvr Mar 06, 2008 (5:52 pm)
Replying to: mayache (Dec 04, 2007 4:47 pm) Maybe not as much as you but i have been experiencing some tire pressure issues... I have the same model as you (w/ Toyo tires, right?) I've had my 07' for little over a year now. When i had my Protege i had way fewer issues. Even during weather temp changes i never even had all 4 tires be under inflated like w/ my 3; hopefully that was just one of those things... I just had my tire pressure checked 3 days ago, and haven't drove much, no major temp changes and one of my tires was low today. I don't get it. In the future i'm planning to change all 4 tires to another brand anyway. Replies to this message: tomkozski (Mar 07, 2008 11:16 am) mazdrvr (Mar 10, 2008 3:04 pm)
#60 of 267 does a bigger tire make a difference... by mazdrvr Mar 06, 2008 (5:56 pm)
Just was curious if a bigger tire (17 or 18", low profile?) gives you less gas mileage? My friend is interested is the Toyota Camry hybrid & there's an option for 18" wheels. Also, what's the difference in ride and handling between a 16" and a 17, 18" tires?
