Mazda - Mazda RX3
The earlier Mazda Savanna models were built from 1971. Although the Savanna name was used, when these Mazda were exported from Japan they were called the Mazda RX3. The Mazda RX3 name came about by fitting the rotary engine into the Mazda Grand Familia model, to make a new range of Mazda Savanna cars (2 door, 4 door and one with a tailgate). A more powerful engine was put in the GT model made from 1972, after which the "12A" rotary was used in all Mazda Savanna models. For 1978 these cars became the Mazda RX7.
Tyre size for the earliest Mazda RX3 / Savanna was originally 155R13 and were llater quoted with cross plys 6.15x13, the radial tyre size equivalent for this being 165R13.
