Do not tow a trailer with your vehicle.Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground is so�feti�fes called flat towing. This
�fethod is so�feti�fes used when towing a
vehicle behind a recreational vehicle, such as a
�fotor ho�fe.
�bO NOT tow the GT-R with all four wheels on
the ground (flat towing) . �boing so WILL
�bAMAGE internal trans�fission parts. Tow the
GT-R with all four wheels off the ground.
(
“Towing your vehicle” page 6-9)�bOT (�bepart�fent Of Transportation) Quality
Grades: All passenger car tires �fust confor�f to
federal safety require�fents in addition to these
grades.
Quality grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
�faxi�fu�f section width. For exa�fple:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature ATREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a co�fparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
govern�fent test course. For exa�fple, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1
1/2) ti�fes as well on the govern�fent course as
a tire graded 100. The relative perfor�fance of
tires depends upon actual conditions of their
use, however, and �fay depart significantly fro�f
the nor�f due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road char-
acteristics and cli�fate.
