to help you with information about
tire type, size, speed rating and
availability.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.

ing tires, refer to ªImportant Tire
Safety Informationº (US) or ªTire

All-season tires
NISSAN specifies all-season tires on some
models to provide good performance for use
all year around, including snowy and icy road
conditions. All-season tires are identified by ALL
SEASON on the tire sidewall.
Summer tires
The GT-R summer tires are made from a
specially formulated rubber to maximize the
vehicle's performance capabilities. Performance
of summer tires is substantially reduced when
temperatures are less than 328F (08C) so you
must drive carefully. NISSAN recommends the
use of winter or all-season tires on all four wheels if you plan to operate your vehicle in
snowy or icy conditions when temperatures are
less than 328F (08C) .
WARNING
Never use summer tires when the
temperature is below

which have the same off-set dimen-
sion. Wheels of a different off-set
could cause premature tire wear,
degrade vehicle handling character-
istics, affect the VDC system and/or
cause interference with the brake
discs. Such interference can lead to
decreased braking efficiency and/or
early brake pad wear. (

. When a wheel is replaced, tire
pressure will not be indicated, the
TPMS will not function and the low
tire pressure warning light will flash
for approximately 1 minute and
remain on after the 1 minute. Con-
tact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer
as soon as possible for tire replace-
ment and/or system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
. Do not install a damaged or de-
formed wheel or tire even if it has
been repaired. Such wheels or tires
could have structural damage and
could fail without warning. .
Never use retread tires.
. For additional information regard-
ing tires, refer to ªImportant Tire
Safety Informationº (US) or ªTire
Safety Informationº (Canada) in the
Warranty Information Booklet.
. Always use tires of the specified
type, size, brand, construction (bias,
bias-belted, radial or run-flat) , and
tread pattern on all four wheels.
Failure to do so may result in a
circumference difference between
tires on the front and rear axles
which will cause excessive tire wear
and may damage the transmission,
transfer case and differential gears.
Wheel balance
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling
and tire life. Even with regular use, wheels can
get out of balance. Therefore, they should be
balanced as required.
Wheel balance service should be performed
with the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing
the rear wheels on the vehicle could lead to
mechanical damage.

ªTire Safety Informationº (Canada) in the War-
ranty Information Booklet.
