Sounds like tire pressure warning. Could go away when tires warm up and pressure builds. Get a good tire pressure guage and make sure they are inflated properly. Saves on gas and tire wear too!

That symbol is supposed to be the cutaway view of a tire and as mentioned it's the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light.

You can download yourself a pdf copy of the RX-8 Owner's Manual - it's great for searching .... http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/pdf/...004_owners.pdf
