You run a higher risk of damaging your alloy rims with potholes since the tires will absorb very little of the impact. I would be very careful with that high tire pressure. It warns you to not exceed that pressure or you could experience a blowout. The inflation stamped on the tire is not a recommendation but a warning. I've kept my tire presure at 48psi and have not noticed any strange tire wear since.Īs recomended by hpulley4, you may want to check your tire guege! It sounds like it's reading low! They also recomended dropping a few punds, in order to compensate for the extremely hot weather we have here in the summer time. The next set of tires may recommend 32psi, but the Dunlops are stamped 52psi. I spoke to my dealer and they said they recommended always following the sidewall as Mazda did not make the tire. I also noticed the outside of the tread showing signs of dragging, not to mention my gas millage dropped 4mpg! The side wall of the factory Dunlops read 52psi max.įollowing several recommendations to follow the owners manual(not the sidewall), I dropped the pressure to 32psi. I found that my tires were inflated to 48psi. This topic has been covered a number of times with numerous recommendations regarding tire pressure.

Yes, I also get the rattle when it starts cold, but I dont start moving the car until the temp gauge starts moving. I dont see the normal long screw on top like most cars. Has anyone adjusted their head lights? How is this adjusted. My head lights are too low and can only see 50-100ft ahead. I dont want to blind anyone, but in their current setup, they feel like they are more for looks than for real world use.Īdjusting the head lights. What I want to do is remove the metal shield that is covering the light to get atleast 10ft of light distance from the fog lights alone and maybe a little more side lighting for curbs.Īny ideas on this? has anyone modified or replaced their fog lights.

Plus the main lights would reflect back light regardless of what the fog lights were doing. Has anyone used the fog lights in real fog? how good do they work? seems like a joke to me, seeing they only provide 1ft of light infront of the car. Anyone experience this or have a fix? Else, Ill probably have to let it recoil back slowly. Plus I think it is catching to early because I notice a very very small kick back or bump some times when shifting, even with it fully to the floor.Įvery once in awhile I notice my belt buckle is twisted at the shoulder harness and I have to straighten it out. Has anyone adjusted their clutch? My pro5 catches at the very bottom brand new, and I would like to back it out a bit so I can have a bit of play.
