display�b
.Do not exceed 50 MPH (80 km/h) .
. Increase your �following distance to allow �for
increased stopping distances.
. Avoid sudden maneuvers, hard cornering
and hard braking.
WARNING
.Although you can continue driving
with a punctured run-flat tire, re-
member that vehicle handling sta-
bility is reduced, which could lead to
an accident and personal injury.
Also, driving a long distance at high
speeds may damage the tire.
. Do not drive at speeds above 50
MPH (80 km/h) and do not drive
more than 50 miles (80 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual
distance the vehicle can be driven
on a flat tire depends on outside
temperature, vehicle load, road con-
ditions and other factors.
. Drive safely at reduced speeds.
Avoid hard cornering or braking,
which may cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
NOTICE
.
Never install tire chains on a punc-
tured run-flat tire, as this could
damage your vehicle.
. Avoid driving over any projection or
pothole, as the clearance between
the vehicle and the ground is smal-
ler than normal.
. Do not enter an automated car wash
with a punctured run-flat tire.
. Have the punctured tire replaced by
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible, as the tire’s
performance capability is reduced.
Tires for All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
I�f excessive tire wear is �found, it is recom-
mended that all �four tires be replaced with tires
o�f the speci�fied size, brand, construction and
tread pattern. The tire pressure and wheel
alignment should also be checked and cor-
rected as necessary. Contact a GT-R certi�fied
NISSAN dealer.
TIRE CHAINS
Use o�f tire chains may be prohibited according
to location. Check the local laws be�fore instal-
ling tire chains. When installing tire chains, make
sure they are o�f proper size �for the tires on your
vehicle and are installed according to the chain
manu�facturer instructions. Use only SAE class
S chains. Class “S” chains are used on vehicles
with restricted tire to vehicle clearance. Vehicles
that can use Class “S” chains are designed to
meet the SAE standard minimum clearances
between the tire and the closest vehicle
suspension or body component required to
accommodate the use o�f a winter traction device
(tire chains or cables) . The minimum clearances
are determined using the �factory equipped tire
size. Other types may damage your vehicle. Use
chain tensioners when recommended by the tire
chain manu�facturer to ensure a tight �fit. Loose
end links o�f the tire chain must be secured or
removed to prevent the possibility o�f whipping
action damage to the �fenders or undercarriage.
I�f possible, avoid �fully loading your vehicle when
using tire chains. In addition, drive at a reduced
speed. Otherwise, your vehicle may be da-
maged and/or vehicle handling and per�formance
may be adversely a�f�fected.
