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.
7) Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm2)
even when not in use. 8)
The high-pressure spare tire should not be
used with any other rim nor should standard
tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used on
the high-pressure spare tire rim which was
originally installed.
9) When the tread wear indicator appears on
the tire, replace it only with the same type
spare tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a
temporary spare tire fitted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a high-
pressure temporary spare.
Note:
When using any temporary type spare tire,
be sure to follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual
instructions.
TIRE STORAGE
All tires should be stored in a cool dry place
indoors so that there is no danger of water
collecting inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored
in a cool place away from sources of heat
and ozone such as hot pipes and electric
generators. Be sure that surfaces on which
tires are stored are clean and free from grease,
gasoline or other substances which could
deteriorate the rubber. (Tires exposed to these
materials during storage or driving could be
subject to sudden failure.) To Avoid Damage to your Tires and Possible
Accident:
•• Check tire pressure at least once a
month when tires are cold and before
long trips.
•• Do not underinflate/overinflate.•• Do not overload.•• Drive at moderate speeds, observe legal limits.
•• Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles, curbs or edges of pavement.
•• Avoid excessive wheel spinning.•• If you see any damage to a tire, replace with spare and see the tire
manufacturer’s retailer or your Infiniti
retailer.
