Some of these effects may lead to accidents and could result in serious personal injury. 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(s) should be replaced. ● The original tires have a built-in tread wear indicator.

The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specifications at all times. It is recom-
mended that wheel nuts be tightened to
specification at each tire rotation interval.
WARNING
After rotating the tires, check and
adjust the tire pressure.
Retighten the wheel nuts when the
vehicle has been driven for 600 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).
Do not include the spare tire in the
tire rotation.
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(s) should be replaced.
The
original
tires
have
a
built-in
tread wear indicator. When the wear
indicator is visible, the tire(s) should
be replaced.
Improper service of the spare tire
may result in serious personal in-
jury. If it is necessary to repair the
spare
tire,
contact
an
authorized
NISSAN dealer.
Replacing tires and wheels
When replacing a tire, use the same size,
tread design, speed rating and load carrying
capacity
as
originally
equipped.
Recom-
mended
types
and
sizes
are
shown
in
‘‘Wheel/Tire Size’’ of the ‘‘Technical and con-
sumer information’’ section of this manual.
WARNING
The
use
of
tires
other
than
those
recommended, or the mixed use of
tires of different brands, construction
(bias,
bias-belted,
radial),
or
tread
patterns can adversely affect the ride,
braking, handling, ground clearance,
body-to-tire
clearance,
tire
chain
clearance, speedometer calibration,
headlight
aim
and
bumper
height.
Some of these effects may lead to
accidents and could result in serious
personal injury.
