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.

. 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.

LOADING TIPS
GUID-13D71221-D915-4A87-ADC2-87049369C8B6.The GVW must not exceed GVWR or
GAWR as specified on the F.M.V.S.
S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
.Do not load the front and rear axle to
the GAWR. Doing so will exceed the
GVWR.
WARNING
.Properly secure all cargo to
help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a
sudden stop or collision, un-
secured cargo could cause
personal injury.
.Do not load your vehicle any
heavier than the GVWR or the
maximum front and rear
GAWRs. If you do, parts of
your vehicle can break, tire
damage could occur, or it can
change the way your vehicle
handles. This could result in
loss of control and cause per-
sonal injury.
.Overloading could not only
shorten the life of your vehicle
and the tires, but also could
lead to hazardous vehicle
handling and long braking dis-
tance. This may cause a pre-
mature tire malfunction, which
could result in a serious acci-
dent and personal injury. Re-
pairs due to overloading the
vehicle are not covered by the
vehicle's warranty. (See the
2017 NISSAN GT-R Warranty
Information Booklet.) MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS
GUID-AC512E09-435D-4A06-9279-37221ACCD343
Secure loose items to prevent weight
shifts that could affect the balance of
your vehicle. When the vehicle is loaded,
drive to a scale and weigh the front and
the rear wheels separately to determine
axle loads. Individual axle loads should
not exceed either of the gross axle
weight ratings (GAWR) . The total of the
axle loads should not exceed the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR) . These
ratings are given on the vehicle certifica-
tion label. If weight ratings are exceeded,
move or remove items to bring all
weights below the ratings.

GUID-A7EF52ED-0918-4222-9D88-0C4CBDE8D06BDo not tow a trailer with your vehicle.GUID-A601D60D-D8C8-4262-A40A-D5D62480E756Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground is sometimes called flat towing. This
method is sometimes used when towing a
vehicle behind a recreational vehicle, such as a
motor home.
DO NOT tow the GT-R with all four wheels on
the ground (flat towing) . Doing so WILL
DAMAGE internal transmission parts. Tow the
GT-R with all four wheels off the ground.

ªTowing your vehicleº page 6-9)
GUID-ABF4BAEC-CE23-4E9D-92B0-C19BC42585B1DOT (Department Of Transportation) Quality
Grades: All passenger car tires must conform to
federal safety requirements in addition to these
grades.
Quality grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEARGUID-F8997A0C-D647-4DBA-B412-AA6947D11FECThe treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1
1/2) times as well on the government course as
a tire graded 100. The relative performance of
tires depends upon actual conditions of their
use, however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road char-
acteristics and climate.
