The 2005 Mazda3 is equipped with P205/55R16 tires as standard. While these numbers may seem confusing at first, they are actually quite simple to understand. The first number, 205, refers to the width of the tire's tread in millimeters. The second number, 55, indicates the sidewall height of the tire in millimeters. Lastly, the third number, 16, denotes the size of the vehicle's rims in inches, confirming that the vehicle has 16-inch rims. Mazda advises maintaining a tire pressure of 32psi for optimal performance, promoting shorter braking distances. Properly inflated tires can also prolong their lifespan, as tires that are either underinflated or overinflated tend to wear out more quickly than those inflated according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
