Goodyear or Dunlop service facility. The form
must be filled out completely and signed,
where you the owner or your authorized
agent presented the tire for adjustment.
SAFETY WARNINGS
Property damage, serious injury or death may
result from:
•TIRE FAILURE DUE TO
UNDERINFLATION/ OVERLOADING/
MISAPPLICATION.
Follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual or tire
placard in vehicle.
• TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPACT DAMAGE/
IMPROPER MAINTENANCE.
Tires should be inspected regularly by a
qualified technician for signs of damage,
such as punctures or impacts.
• TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER
REPAIRS.
See Rubber Manufacturer’s Association
(RMA) established repair procedures at www.
rma.org and/or go to www.goodyear.com for
information on proper repair procedures.
• EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM ASSEMBLY
DUE TO IMPROPER MOUNTING.
Only specially-trained persons should mount
tires. When mounting tires, use safety cage
and clip-on extension air hose to inflate.
• FAILURE TO MOUNT RADIAL TIRES ON
APPROVED RIMS.
• FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR DUAL
ASSEMBLIES COMPLETELY BEFORE
DEMOUNTING.
• TIRE SPINNING.
On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, ice,
etc., do not spin tires in excess of 35 mph (55
kph), as indicated on the speedometer. •
EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.
This can also result in tire disintegration or
axle failure.
WARNING: Vehicle handling, traction, ride
comfort and other performance parameters
may be significantly affected by a change in
tire size or type. Before replacing tires, always
consult and follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual
because some vehicle manufacturers prohibit
changing tire size. When selecting tires that
are different from the original equipment size
make certain: (1) The tires have adequate
load carrying capacity based on the vehicle
placard, (2) The tires have sufficient inflation
pressure to carry the load and (3) There is
proper clearance with no interference points
between the tire and vehicle. The consumer
must be aware to always drive safely and obey
all traffic laws. Avoid sudden, sharp turns or
lane changes. Failure to follow any of these
warnings may result in loss of control of the
vehicle, leading to an accident and serious
injury or death.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GUIDE
The easiest way to help ensure satisfactory
mileage and performance from your Goodyear
or Dunlop tires is to give them a simple but
frequent (at least monthly) inspection for
proper inflation, even treadwear, and the
presence of any damage.

mixing tires of different types on a vehicle in
any configuration, be sure to check the vehicle
Owner’s Manual for its recommendations.
Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturer’s
Association (RMA) definition of mud and
snow tires are marked M/S, M+S, M&S. On
such tires, this designation is molded into the
sidewall. Tires without this notation are not
recommended for mud and/or snow driving.
If snow tires are needed, it is necessary
to select tires equivalent in size and load
rating to the original equipment tires.
Always fit performance snow tires in sets of
four (4) for optimum mud & snow traction
and maintenance of vehicle handling
characteristics. If you do not, it may adversely
affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
It is also important to check the vehicle
Owner’s Manual before mixing or matching
tires on 4-wheel drive vehicles as this may
require special precautions.
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for more
information on tire replacement precautions.
TIRE ROTATION
Tires on your Infiniti vehicle should be rotated
every 7,500 miles or as irregular wear
develops. If irregular wear becomes apparent
or if the wear rate on the tires is perceptibly
uneven, the tires should be rotated in such
a way to alleviate the problem. Check your
vehicle for any mechanical problems and
correct if necessary. Any rotation pattern or
procedure may be followed including those indicated in the Owner’s Manual. Some tires
have arrows on the sidewall showing the
direction in which the tire should turn. When
rotating this type of tire, care must be taken
to maintain the proper turning direction as
indicated by the arrows. Some vehicles have
different tire sizes specified for front and rear
axles. Tires on these vehicles should not be
rotated side to side (unless they are non-
directional). Where a temporary type spare tire
is available, it should not be included in the tire
rotation schedule. Such tires are intended for
temporary use only.
REPLACING TWO TIRES
If your vehicle was originally equipped with
four tires that were the same size and you are
only replacing two of the four tires, install the
new tires on the rear axle. Placing new tires
on the front axle may cause loss of vehicle
control in some driving conditions and cause
an accident and personal injury.
TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should
see a tire retailer for advice concerning the
correct size of tire and pressure. Tire size and
pressure will depend on the type and size of
the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case
must the maximum cold inflation pressure or
the tire load rating be exceeded. Check the tire
decal and your Owner’s Manual for further
recommendations on trailer towing.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not perform any alterations on your tires.
Alterations may prevent proper performance,
leading to tire damage, which can result in an
accident. Tires which become unserviceable
due to alterations such as truing, whitewall
inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids,
may be excluded from warranty coverage.
Consult your tire warranty.
HIGH-PRESSURE TEMPORARY
SPARE TIRES
1.
The high-pressure spare tire in your Infiniti
vehicle is designed for temporary use only
and must not be used continually as a
regular tire. The standard tire should be
repaired and/or replaced as soon as possible.
2. Avoid driving over obstacles that may
damage the tire through impact or cutting,
such as potholes, glass, metal, etc.
3. Speed must not exceed 50mph (80km/h) for
non-speed-rated temporary spare tires.
4. Temporary spare tires have a limited
treadlife which can vary depending on road
conditions and your driving habits. The
spare tire should be returned to the trunk as
soon as the standard tire can be repaired or
replaced.
5. Because the high-pressure spare tire was specifically designed for your car, it should
not be used on any other vehicle.
6. Do not use snow chains on your high- pressure spare. This could cause damage to
your vehicle.
