Looks a tad underinflated!

My car did that once,kinda wandered around in back.I thought it was a tire,but turned out I twisted a trailing arm bracket clean off the axle!!No more donuts after that little experience....

This tire/wheel had 2 large weights and one small on the back and the large on the front so I bet the tire was bad when it was put on by the PO.

Mmmmm Tread De-Lamination. I suggest you sue the tire company and Mazda for all they are worth. Force them to recall all tires of that model.
