All season tires
GUID-41 6D8104-CC7 B-46FA-B4CA-B53 7AF5AE9CE
NISSAN specifies allseason tiresonsome
models toprovide goodperformance allyear,
including snowyandicyroad conditions. All
Season tiresareidentified byALL SEASON
and/or M&S(Mud andSnow) onthe tire
sidewall. Snowtireshave better snowtraction
than AllSeason tiresandmay bemore appro-
priate insome areas.
Summer tires
GUID-07 88A270-69FF -49A1-ACEC- 39C92FC91344
NISSAN specifies summertiresonsome
models toprovide superior performance ondry
roads. Summer tireperformance issubstantially
reduced insnow andice.Summer tiresdonot
have thetire traction ratingM&Sonthe tire
sidewall.
If you plan tooperate yourvehicle insnowy or
icy conditions, NISSANrecommends theuse of
SNOW tiresorALL SEASON tiresonallfour
wheels.
Snow tires
GUID-7DBD9 178-687B-4889-BA79 -417F594D0 842
If snow tiresareneeded, itis necessary toselect
tires equivalent insize andload rating tothe
original equipment tires.Ifyou donot, itcan
adversely affectthesafety andhandling ofyour
vehicle.
Generally ,snow tireswillhave lower speed
ratings thanfactory equipped tiresandmay not match
thepotential maximum vehiclespeed.
Never exceed themaximum speedratingofthe
tire.
If you install snowtires,theymust bethe same
size, brand, construction andtread pattern onall
four wheels.
For additional tractiononicy roads, studded
tires maybeused. However, someU.S.states
and Canadian provinces prohibittheiruse.
Check local,stateandprovincial lawsbefore
installing studdedtires.Skidandtraction cap-
abilities ofstudded snowtires,onwet ordry
surfaces, maybepoorer thanthatofnon-
studded snowtires.
TIRE CHAINS
GUID-74 141916-76 68-4C78-8B 9E-6B18B49D3DE7
Use oftire chains maybeprohibited according
to location. Checkthelocal lawsbefore instal-
ling tirechains. Wheninstalling tirechains, make
sure theyarethe proper sizeforthe tires onyour
vehicle andareinstalled according tothe chain
manufacturer's suggestions.Useonly SAE
Class Schains. ClassªSºchains areused on
vehicles withrestricted tiretovehicle clearance.
V ehicles thatcanuseClass ªSºchains are
designed tomeet theSAE standard minimum
clearances betweenthetireand theclosest
vehicle suspension orbody component required
to accommodate theuse ofawinter traction
device (tirechains orcables) .The minimum clearances
aredetermined usingthefactory
equipped tiresize. Other typesmaydamage
your vehicle. Usechain tensioners whenre-
commended bythe tirechain manufacturer to
ensure atight fit.Loose endlinks ofthe tire
chain mustbesecured orremoved toprevent
the possibility ofwhipping actiondamage tothe
fenders orunderbody .If possible, avoidfully
loading yourvehicle whenusingtirechains. In
addition, driveatareduced speed.Otherwise,
your vehicle maybedamaged and/orvehicle
handling andperformance maybeadversely
affected.
Tire chains mustbeinstalled onlyonthe
front wheels andnotonthe rear wheels.
Never installtirechains onaTEMPORAR YUSE
ONL Yspare tire.
Do not use tirechains ondry roads. Driving with
tire chains insuch conditions cancause damage
to the various mechanisms ofthe vehicle dueto
some overstress.

When replacing atire, usethesame size,tread
design, speedratingandload carrying capacity
as originally equipped. (SeeªSpecificationsº
(P .9-8) forrecommended typesandsizes of
tires andwheels.)
WARNING
. The useoftires other thanthose
recommended orthe mixed useof
tires ofdifferent brands,construc-
tion (bias, bias-belted orradial) ,or
tread patterns canadversely affect
the ride, braking, handling, ground
clearance, body-to-tire clearance,
tire chain clearance, speedometer
calibration, headlightaimand bum-
per height. Someofthese effects
may lead toaccidents andcould
result inserious personal injury.
. For Two-Wheel Drive(2WD) models,
if your vehicle wasoriginally
equipped with4tires thatwere the
same sizeandyouareonly repla-
cing 2of the 4tires, install thenew
tires onthe rear axle. Placing new
tires onthe front axlemay cause
loss ofvehicle control insome driving
conditions andcause an
accident andpersonal injury.
. Ifthe wheels arechanged forany
reason, alwaysreplace withwheels
which havethesame off-set dimen-
sion. Wheels ofadifferent off-set
could cause premature tirewear,
degrade vehiclehandling character-
istic sand/or interference withthe
brake discs/drums. Suchinterfer-
ence canlead todecreased braking
efficiency and/orearlybrake pad/
shoe wear. SeeªWheels andtiresº
(P .9-9) ofthis manual forwheel off-
set dimensions.
. When aspare tireismounted ora

brand, construction (bias,bias-
belted orradial) ,and tread pattern
on allfour wheels. Failuretodo so
may result inacircumference differ-
ence between tiresonthe front and
rear axles which willcause exces-
sive tirewear andmay damage the

Only usespare tiresspecified for
each AWD model.
If excessive tirewear isfound, itis recom-
mended thatallfour tires bereplaced withtires
of the same size,brand, construction andtread
pattern. Thetirepressure andwheel alignment
should alsobechecked andcorrected as
necessary .Contact aNISSAN dealer.
