The spare tire size for the 2016 Axela is 205/60R16. A spare tire refers to the backup tire for a sedan, with specifications identical to the original car tires. Precautions for using a spare tire include: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire; 2. Do not use it for extended periods; 3. Avoid using the spare tire in tire rotation; 4. Keep it away from oil products. The 2016 Axela is a compact car introduced by Changan Mazda, featuring a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback body structure. Its dimensions are: length 4461 mm, width 1795 mm, height 1474 mm, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters.
I'm the owner of a 2016 Axela (Mazda3), and after driving it for over a year, I clearly remember that the spare tire size is T135/70R16, which I specifically checked in the owner's manual. This spare tire is a non-full-size type, small like an emergency tool, only for temporary use in case of a flat tire, and the speed should never exceed 80 km/h. The tire pressure should be maintained at around 420 kPa; otherwise, it's prone to blowouts or affects driving stability. I make it a habit to check the tire pressure every six months, and don’t forget to regularly clean the dust off its surface when stored in the trunk. Once, I had a flat tire on the highway and used this spare tire to drive a few kilometers to a repair shop—it wobbled a lot, but I made it safely. It's a good idea to ask the technician about the spare tire’s condition during regular car maintenance to ensure it won’t fail in an emergency.
