TIRE WEAR AND DAMAGE
WARNING
•Tires should be periodically inspected
for wear, cracking, bulging or objects
caught in the tread. If excessive wear,
cracks, bulging or deep cuts are found,
the tire should be replaced immediately.
•The original tires have a built-in tread
wear indicator. When the wear indicator
is visible, the tire should be replaced.
•Tires degrade with age and use. Have
tires, including the spare, over 6 years
old checked by a qualified technician be-
cause some tire damage may not be ob- vious. Replace the tires as necessary to
prevent tire failure and possible per-
sonal injury.
•Improper service of the spare tire may
result in serious personal injury. If it is
necessary to repair the spare tire, it is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
•For additional information regarding
tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety In-
formation” (US) or “Tire Safety Infor-
mation” (Canada) in the Warranty In-

Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal,
valve core and cap when the tires are re-

Wheel alignment and balance:
If the vehicle should pull to either side while
driving on a straight and level road, or if you
detect uneven or abnormal tire wear, there
may be a need for wheel alignment.
If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at nor-
mal highway speeds, wheel balancing may be
needed.
