 Mazda recommend a 205/65/r15 94s for this vehicle, they even mailed out these stickers for applying to car door frame to cover early publication sticker 205/65/r15 92s. when looking for replacement tire all shope (sears, dunlop, goodyear etc show 205/65/r15 92s recommended replacement. this is wrong! 92 is less load capability and it does'nt agree with door sticker recommendation.
