WARNING Metric Studs and Lug Nuts: Because the wheel studs and lug nuts on your Mazda have metric threads, using a non-metric nut is dangerous. On a metric stud, it would not secure the wheel and would damage the stud, which could cause the wheel to slip off and cause an accident. Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you removed or replace them with metric nuts of the same configuration. Incorrect Tire Air Pressure: Driving on tires with incorrect air pressure is dangerous. Tires with incorrect pressure could affect handling and result in an accident. Don't drive with any tires that have incorrect air pressure. When you check the regular tires' air pressure, check the spare tire, too. 5. Put the flat tire in the special vinyl bag and tie it at the top. 6. With the tire facing outward, punch a hole through the vinyl bag and the center hole, using the flat tire securing bolt. 8.
