Ahem! Bigdog's Air is no longer available in this country, having been purchased by an off-shore consortium of investors to supply the burgeoning economy in mainland China. I beleive this was covered in recent articles in the Fin Review and New Idea.

It looks to me like this wheel was filled with inferior recycled air containing ten percent ethanol - Mazda have clearly stated that NB's can't handle the 10% ethanol mix.... the results are obvious.

If you're going into corners hard enough to lose the air like that, you need nitrogen in the tyres and a little snake oil around the beading. That should fix you right up.

Cheers,
