8-32Maintenance and do-it-yourself
If you have a flat tire, see the following
section. (“Flat tire” page 6-3)
CAUTION
A GT-R certified NISSAN dealer should
perform a tire change. It will be neces-
sary to reset the tire pressure sensors.
To change the tires, contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
Be sure to use the tires and wheels together as
a set that are designated �for use with this
vehicle.
�bhen tire replacement is required, replacing the
tires as a set o�f �four with new tires is
recommended. However, i�f a tire is punctured
or damaged, it may be possible to replace only
the damaged tire. Determining whether one tire
or a complete set o�f tires should be replaced is
based on a number o�f �factors including tire wear
and condition. Contact your GT-R certi�fied
NISSAN dealer. They can recommend i�f an
individual tire or a complete set should be
replaced.
NOTICE
Make sure the tire valve stem cap is
installed and that the valve stem is
tight. When installing the cap, make
sure to tighten the cap by hand. If a tool
is used to tighten the cap, the cap may
be damaged.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) . It monitors tire
pressure o�f all tires. �bhen the low tire pressure
warning light is lit, one or more o�f your tires is
signi�ficantly under-in�flated. The system also
displays pressure o�f all tires on the multi �function
display by sending a signal �from a sensor that is
installed in each wheel.
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) .
Also, this system may not detect a sudden drop
in tire pressure. (
“Low tire pressure warn-
ing light” page 2-27) (“Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” page 5-4)
(
“Flat tire” page 6-3)
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressure o�ften and always
prior to long distance trips. The recom-
mended tire pressure speci�fications are
shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label
or the Tire and Loading In�formation label (i�f
so equipped) under the “Cold Tire Pres-
sure” heading. The Tire and Loading
In�formation label is a�f�fixed to the driver
side door end. Tire pressures should be
checked regularly because:
.Most tires naturally lose air over time.
.Tires can lose air suddenly when driven
over potholes or other objects or i�f the
vehicle strikes a curb while parking.
NOTE:
. You can check the pressure of all four
tires on the multi function display. See
the separate Multi Function Display
Owner’s Manual.
. The tires of this vehicle are filled with
nitrogen gas. When the tire pressure is
low, fill the tires with nitrogen. Contact
a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer for
information on filling the tires with
nitrogen.
