Mazda 626 IV (GE) Tire Sizes, Markings & Rim Specifications by Year and Trim
The Mazda 626 IV (GE), produced during the mid-1990s, features varying tire sizes and rim specifications depending on the model year and trim level. Common tire sizes range from 195/60R14 to 205/55R15, with rim widths typically between 5.5 and 6.5 inches.\n\nEarly models (1992–1994) often came with smaller 14-inch rims and modest tire profiles, especially on base trims. Later trims and model years introduced 15-inch rims paired with lower-profile tires, enhancing handling characteristics.\n\nWhen comparing trims, it's important to note that sportier versions usually have wider rims and lower-profile tires, which affect ride comfort and vehicle dynamics. Always verify the tire markings (width, aspect ratio, and diameter) to ensure compatibility with your Mazda 626 IV (GE).\n\nUse rim width × diameter charts as a reference when selecting replacement tires or rims for your vehicle. Proper matching maintains safety, performance, and preserves factory handling standards.
