Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due to
improper maintenance or service factors. This could create
a risk of property damage and serious or fatal injury.
Disregarding any of the safety precautions and instructions
contained in this manual may result in tire failure or explo-
sion causing serious personal injury or death. For your
safety, comply with the following:
TIRE INFLATIONKeep tires inflated to the pressures recommended on the
tire data placard. (See your OWNER’S MANUAL for
location.) These inflation pressures must be maintained as
a minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum pres-
sure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES ON ALL YOUR TIRES,
INCLUDING THE SPARE, WHEN TIRES ARE COLD, AT
LEAST ONCE A MONTH BEFORE DRIVING.
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper
vehicle handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire
wear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle control and
serious personal injury. Therefore, inflation pressures
should be checked at least once a month and always prior
to long distance trips.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold. The tires
are cold when your vehicle has been driven less than a mile
at moderate speed after being stopped for three or more
hours.
CHECKING PRESSURE WHEN
TIRES ARE HOT
If you must add air when your tires are hot, add four pounds
per square inch (psi) (28kPa) above the recommended
cold air pressure. Recheck the inflation pressure when the
tire is cold.
For Example Only:
Gauge reading of hot tire: 32psi
If recommended pressure is: 30psi
Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4psi = 34psi
Check cold pressures as soon as possible, at least by the
next day. Never “bleed” air from hot tires as your tire will be
underinflated. Use an accurate tire gauge to check pres-
sures. Never allow children to air up tires.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE
CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS.
For replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will
be provided by your tire dealer, if not, refer to the vehicle
decal.
Underinflation produces extreme flexing of the sidewalls
and builds up heat which may result in sudden tire destruc-
tion and serious personal injury. Overinflation can cause
the tire to be more susceptible to impact damage.
LOAD LIMITS
DO NOT OVERLOAD. DRIVING ON ANY OVER-
LOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS. Never load your tires
beyond the load carrying limits molded into the sidewall of
the tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the
vehicle tire data placard, whichever is less. Overloading causes heat to build up which can lead to sudden tire
failure and serious personal injury.
SPEED LIMITS AND SPEED RATED
TIRES
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Never
operate your vehicle in excess of lawful speeds or the
maximum speeds justified by the driving conditions. Exces-
sive speeds or racing can cause heat buildup in a tire
leading to possible failure and serious personal injury.
Correct inflation pressure is especially important.
However, at high speeds, even with the correct inflation
pressure, a road hazard, for example, is more difficult to
avoid and if contact is made, there is a greater chance of
causing tire damage than at the lower speed. Moreover,
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to
avoid accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. If you
see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with your spare
tire and see your tire dealer at once.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be
safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is
rated. In addition, some damages or improper repairs
may cause a speed-rated tire to lose its speed rating.
Exceeding the tire’s maximum speed rating will cause
the tire to build up excessive heat which can cause tire
damage that could result in sudden tire destruction and
rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle with sudden air
loss can lead to an accident. In any case, you should not
exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by the legal
limits and driving conditions.

TRAILER TOWINGIf you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire dealer
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 ALTERATIONSDo 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 war-
ranty.
HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE
TIRES
1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Nissan 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/cm
2) 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 tempo-
rary spare.
Note: When using any temporary type spare tire, be
sure to follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual
instructions.
TIRE STORAGEAll 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 dealer or your
Nissan dealership.
