trailer NISSAN 370Z COUPE 2014 Z34 Warranty Booklet

Always maintain inflation pressure at the level
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer as
shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle certifica-
tion label or in the vehicle Owner’s Manual:
Underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may
result in severe cracking, component separation or “blow-
out.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive side-
wall flexing and increases rolling resistance, resulting in
heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper inflation
pressure is the single most important thing you can do to
promote tire durability and maximize tread life.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinflation also
increases the chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE OR
TIRES
Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual to determine the
load limits. Overloading your vehicle places stress on
your tires and other critical vehicle components. Over-
loading a vehicle can cause poor handling, increased
fuel consumption and may cause tire failure. Overload-
ing your tires can result in severe cracking, component
separation orblowout.
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have less load
capacity than shown on the vehicle tire placard and
remember that optimum rim width is important for
proper tire load distribution and function.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewalls of
P-Metric & European Metric tires is reduced by 10%
when used on a light truck, utility vehicle or trailer. Never
fit P-Metric or European Metric tires to light trucks that
specify LT-type replacement tires.
DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES
EXCESSIVELY
Avoid excessive tire spinning when your vehicle is stuck
in snow, ice, mud or sand. The centrifugal forces gen-
erated by a free-spinning tire/wheel assembly may
cause sudden tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage
and/or serious personal injury to you or a bystander.
Never exceed 35 mph/55 km/h, as indicated on your
speedometer. Use a gentle backward and forward rock-
ing motion to free your vehicle for continued driving.
Never stand near or behind a tire spinning at high
speeds. For example, while attempting to push a vehicle
that is stuck or when an on-the-car spin balance ma-
chine is in use.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR WEAR
Always remove tires from service when they reach two
thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32) remaining tread depth.
All new tires have treadwear indicators which appear as
smooth banks in the tread grooves when they wear to
the two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32) level. Many wet
weather accidents result from skidding on bald or nearly
bald tires. Excessively worn tires are also more suscep-
tible to penetrations.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGE
Frequent (at least monthly) inspection of your tires for
signs of damage and their general condition is important
for safety. If you have any questions, have your tire
Dealer inspect them. Impacts, penetrations, cracks,
knots, bulges or air loss always require tire removal and
expert inspection. Never perform a temporary repair or
use an inner tube as a substitute for a proper repair.
Only qualified persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIR NOTE:
Goodyear and Dunlop do not warrant any inspection or
repair process. The repair is entirely the responsibility of
the repairer and should be made in accordance with
established Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA)
procedures.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure warning system
activates.
THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY)
SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built,
and tested to the high engineering standards set by
North America’s leading car manufacturers and to
Goodyear and Dunlop’s own high standards of quality
control. It is designed to take up a minimum of storage
space and, at the same time, fulfill the function of a spare
tire when needed. The spare is kept in its storage space,
fully inflated at 60 psi. To be sure it is always ready for
use, the air pressure should be checked on a regular
basis.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare can be used in
combination with the original tires on your vehicle. You
can expect a tire tread life of up to 3,000 miles
(4,800 kilometers), depending on road conditions and
your driving habits. To conserve tire tread life, return the
spare to the storage area as soon as it is convenient to
have the standard tire repaired or replaced.

28 GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

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 acci-
dent and personal injury.
TRAILER TOWING
If 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 ALTERATIONS
Do not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations
may prevent proper performance, leading to tire dam-
age, which can result in an accident. Tires which be-
come 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 Nissanvehicle 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 stan-
dard tire can be repaired or replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was spe- cifically 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 tem- porary spare tire fitted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a high-pressure tem-
porary spare.
Note: When using any temporary type spare
tire, be sure to follow the vehicle Own-
er’s Manual instructions.
