WARNING
.
When changing or replacing tires,
be sure all four tires are of the same
type (Examples: Summer or All
Season) and construction. A GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer may be able
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.
. For additional information regard-
ing tires, refer to ªImportant Tire
Safety Informationº (US) or ªTire
Safety Informationº (Canada) in the
Warranty Information Booklet.
All-season tiresGUID-3530878B-21CD-4FB0-834D-8BEEC1E9F857NISSAN 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 tiresGUID-ABEF5B55-4350-4EC5-918F-0B7ED6BCE431The 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

Tires for All-Wheel Drive (AWD)GUID-848D3C9A-A3CC-4FF9-9DE9-F6990C89ECF1If excessive tire wear is found, it is recom-
mended that all four tires be replaced with tires
of the specified size, brand, construction and
tread pattern. The tire pressure and wheel
alignment should also be checked and cor-
rected as necessary. It is recommended you
contact a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
TIRE CHAINSGUID-90F3D152-5E58-4B2D-929F-0D9F338D8B14Use of tire chains may be prohibited according
to location. Check the local laws before instal-
ling tire chains. When installing tire chains, make
sure they are of proper size for the tires on your
vehicle and are installed according to the chain
manufacturer instructions.Use only SAE class
S chains. Class ªSº chains are used on vehicles
with restricted tire to vehicle clearance. Vehicles
that can use Class ªSº 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 of 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 manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose
end links of the tire chain must be secured or removed to prevent the possibility of whipping
action damage to the fenders or undercarriage.
If 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 performance
may be adversely affected.
NOTE:
Tire chains must be installed only on the
rear wheels and not on the front wheels.
CAUTION
Do not use tire chains on dry roads.
NOTICE
Never install tire chains on a punctured
run-flat tire, as this could damage your
vehicle.
Do not drive with tire chains on paved roads that
are clear of snow. Driving with chains in such
conditions can cause damage to the various
mechanisms of the vehicle due to some
overstress.

Tire wear and damageGUID-A053145E-F451-4F9A-AA70-4737275226D6
WARNING
.Tires should be periodically
inspected for wear, cracking,
bulging or objects caught in
the tread. If excessive wear,
cracks, bulging or deep cuts
are found, the tire(s) should be replaced.
.The original tires have built-in
tread wear indicators. When
the wear indicators are visible,
the tire(s) should be replaced.
.Tires degrade with age and
use. Have tires, over 6 years
old checked by a qualified
technician because some tire
damage may not be obvious.
Replace the tires as necessary
to prevent tire failure and
possible personal injury.
.For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to ªImpor-
tant Tire Safety Informationº
(US) or ªTire Safety Informa-
tionº (Canada) in the Warranty
Information Booklet.
Replacing wheels and tires
GUID-AA9BCC05-3F63-414E-ACDE-EB327CFF8CF9When tire replacement is required, replacing
tires as a set of four with new tires is
recommended. However, if a tire is punctured or damaged, it may be possible to replace only
the damaged tire. Determining whether one tire
or a complete set of tires should be replaced is
based on a number of factors including tire wear
and condition. It is recommended you contact
your GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. They can
recommend if an individual tire or a complete set
should be replaced.
When replacing a tire, use the specified size,
speed rating and load carrying capacity as
originally equipped. (
ªWheels and tiresº
page 9-9)
NOTICE
. When you replace the GT-R tires, it
is recommended that you replace all
the tires at the same time.
. The GT-R uses specially designed
run-flat tires which feature an ex-
tremely rigid side wall. Special tech-
niques and equipment are therefore
required when replacing these tires.
NISSAN recommends that tire re-
placement be performed at a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.
. When tires are reinstalled after
being uninstalled from the wheels,
use equipment such as a leverless


> (GLW    0RGHO 0< 1,66$1 *755 20(58 @
automatic tire changer. It is only
possible to reuse the tires when
they have no cracks and/or defor-
mations on the bead portion. How-
ever, if you use a lever-type tire
changer, cracks and deformation
may occur on the bead portion of
the tires meaning that the tires
cannot be reused.
. 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.
WARNING
.The use of tires other than those
specified or the mixed use of tires of
different brands, construction (bias,
bias-belted, radial or run-flat) , or
tread patterns can adversely affect
the ride, braking, VDC system, hand-
ling, ground clearance, body-to-tire
clearance, tire chain clearance,
speedometer calibration, headlight
aim and bumper height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents
and could result in serious personal
injury.
. If the wheels are changed for any
reason, always replace with wheels
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. (
ªWheels
and tiresº page 9-9)
. 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. It is
recommended you contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the TPMS.
. The TPMS sensor may be damaged
if it is not handled correctly. Be
careful when handling the TPMS
sensor.
. When replacing the TPMS sensor,
the ID registration may be required.
Contact a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer for ID registration.
. Do not use a valve stem cap that is
not specified by NISSAN. The valve
stem cap may become stuck.
. Be sure that the valve stem caps are
correctly fitted. Otherwise the valve
may be clogged up with dirt and
cause a malfunction or loss of
pressure.
. 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 balanceGUID-22867962-AD6F-48F7-AC6D-26DC40810782Unbalanced 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.
For additional information regarding tires, refer
to ªImportant Tire Safety Informationº (US) or
ªTire Safety Informationº (Canada) in the War-
ranty Information Booklet.
