NISSAN recommends thattires berotated every5,000
km (3,000 miles)forFour-Wheel Drive(4WD) orevery
10,000 km(6,000 miles)forTwo-Wheel Drive(2WD)
model. However, thetiming fortire rotation mayvary
according toyour driving habitsandtheroad surface
conditions. (SeeªFlattireº(P.6-2) forthe tirereplace-
ment.)
WARNING:
. After rotating thetires, adjust thetire
pressure.
. Retighten thewheel nutswhen thevehicle
has been driven for1,000 km(600 miles) (also
incases ofaflat tire, etc.).
. Donot include thespare tireintire rotation.
. Incorrect tireselection, fitting,care,or
maintenance canaffect vehicle safetywith
risk ofaccident andinjury. Ifin doubt,
consult aNISSAN dealerorthe tire manu-
facturer.
For models equipped withTirePressure
Monitoring System(TPMS)

WARNING:
Do not install adeformed wheelortire even ifit
has been repaired. Suchwheels ortires could
have structural damageandcould failwithout
warning.
When replacing atire, usethesame size,speed rating
and load carrying capacity asoriginally equipped. (See
ªTires andwheelsº (P.9-7) forrecommended typesand
sizes oftires andwheels.) Theuseoftires other than
those recommended orthe mixed useoftires of
different brands,construction (bias,bias-belted, or
radial) ,or tread patterns canadversely affecttheride,
braking, handling, groundclearance, body-to-tire
clearance, snowchainclearance, TirePressure Mon-
itoring System (TPMS),speedometer calibration,
headlight aimand bumper height.Someofthese
effects maylead toaccidents andcould resultin
serious personal injury.
If the wheels arechanged forany reason, always
replace withwheels whichhavethesame offset
dimension. Wheelsofadifferent offsetcouldcause
early tirewear, possibly degraded vehiclehandling
characteristics and/orinterference withthebrake

Quality Grades: Allpassenger cartires must conform
to local safety requirements inaddition tothese
grades.
Quality gradescanbefound where applicable onthe
tire sidewall between treadshoulder andmaximum
section width.Forexample:

TREADWEAR
GUID-0571F FF5-1F89-4F2D-8C54-B33C79A693 D9
The treadwear gradeisacomparative ratingbased on
the wear rateofthe tire when tested undercontrolled
conditions onaspecified government testcourse. For
example, atire graded 150would wearoneand one-
half (11/2) times aswell onthe government courseas
a tire graded 100.Therelative performance oftires
depends upontheactual conditions oftheir use,
however, andmay depart significantly fromthenorm
due tovariations indriving habits,service practices
and differences inroad characteristics andclimate.
TRACTION AA,A ,B AND C
GUID-538BC6 4D-3FD2-4494-8890-5 9A412EBD485
The traction grades,fromhighest tolowest, areAA,A ,
B, and C.Those grades represent thetire's ability to
stop onwet pavement asmeasured undercontrolled
conditions onspecified government testsurfaces of
asphalt andconcrete. Atire marked Cmay have poor
traction performance.
WARNING:
The traction gradeassigned tothis tireisbased
on straight-ahead brakingtraction tests,and
does notinclude acceleration, cornering,hydro-
planing, orpeak traction characteristic s.
TEMPERA TUREA,B AND C
GUID-F9 830A06-691 1-457A-B0D 7-F963C50D95EC
The temperature gradesareA(the highest) ,B, and C,
representing thetire's resistance tothe generation of
heat anditsability todissipate heatwhen tested under
controlled conditions onaspecified indoorlaboratory
test wheel. Sustained hightemperature cancause the
material ofthe tire todegenerate andreduce tirelife,
and excessive temperature canlead tosudden tire
failure. Thegrade Ccorresponds toalevel of
performance whichallpassenger cartires must meet
under thelocal regulations. GradesBand Arepresent

wheel thantheminimum requiredbylaw .
WARNING:
The temperature gradeforthis tireisestab-
lished foratire that isproperly inflatedandnot
overloaded. Excessivespeed,under-inflation, or
excessive loading,eitherseparately orincom-
bination, cancause heatbuild-up andpossible
tire failure.
