Here at Scott Mazda, you’ll find the parts and systems you need to keep your vehicle safe and reliable, including high-quality Mazda tires that will help you to navigate even the iciest or muddiest terrain. Our Mazda vehicles have many great features for traction and safe driving, including those new Mazda tires and i-ACTIV AWD®. Here’s a closer look at how these features improve your traction.
i-ACTIV AWD® and Traction
What is i-ACTIV AWD®? As the name indicates, the signature Mazda all-wheel drive system is designed to help you safely navigate uneven, rocky, or slippery driving conditions.
In a standard all-wheel-drive system, power is distributed to the wheels as needed. This also means less power is distributed when conditions allow for bigger fuel savings.
The i-ACTIV AWD® system takes this further, giving you even more control in inclement conditions. It has over two dozen sensors that instantly monitor real-time road conditions and adjust torque distribution. It also features a Front-wheel Slip-warning Detection System™ and the G-Vectoring Torque Control System™, which means you’ll have extra control when it matters most.
New MAZDA Tires and Traction
One of the best ways to keep your vehicle responsive and safe on every drive is through tire service and care. You’ll want to get your tires changed no less than every five years – don’t forget your spare — and schedule Mazda tire rotations every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to ensure even tire wear. Our team will also inspect tread depth regularly so you know when it’s time for grippier tires.
AWD Versus Tires
So what matters more for good traction, the i-ACTIV AWD® system or new tires? You’ll want both for the best in traction and safe driving. Learn more about the great features of new Mazda models and order new Mazda tires with the support of Scott Mazda today.
