39CONTINENTAL/GENERAL TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
Serva-Spare Tires
After the “Free Replacement Policy” expires
(set forth in section 2A), no adjustment will be
made.
3. HOW A PRO RATA PRICE IS
CALCULATED
The replacement tire price will be determined
by multiplying the percentage of the usable
tread worn by the Retailer’s Selling Price
(excluding all applicable taxes) at the time of
the adjustment or the Continental/General
brand current published Adjustment Base
Price, whichever is lower. The usable tread
is the original tread down to the tread wear
indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread
remaining). The Adjustment Base Price is
intended to fairly represent a Retailer’s Selling
Price for the same or comparable tire.
4.

Contact the manufacturer of your tires for
their position and assistance on the repair of
speed-rated tires. When you are replacing tires
that have a speed rating, you must replace
with tires of the same or higher speed rating
if the speed capability of the vehicle is to be
maintained.
VISUAL INSPECTION
INSPECT YOUR TIRES. DO NOT DRIVE ON A
DAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL. Check your tires
frequently for scrapes, bulges, separations,
cuts, snags, cracks, penetrations or excessive
localized wear from hard braking. Also check
for abnormal tire wear, particularly on the
edges of the tire tread which may be caused
by misalignment or underinflation. Impacts
can damage the inner portion of the tire
without being visible on the outside. If damage
can be seen on the tires or wheels, or if you
suspect that possible impact damage may
have occurred, replace with spare at once and
have your tire store or retailer inspect your
tires immediately. Use of a damaged tire could
result in tire destruction. When inspecting
your tires, including the spare, check your air
pressures. If your pressure check indicates
that one of your tires has lost pressure of two
pounds or more, look for signs of penetrations,
valve leakage, or wheel damage that may
account for the air loss. All tires will wear out faster when subjected
to high speeds as well as hard cornering, rapid
starts, sudden stops, frequent driving on roads
which are in poor condition, and off-road use.
Roads with holes and rocks or other objects
can damage tires and cause misalignment of
your vehicle. When you drive on such roads,
drive on them carefully and slowly, and before
driving again at normal or highway speeds,
examine your tires for any damage, such
as cuts, bulges, penetrations, unusual wear
patterns, etc.
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS (WEAR BARS):
Tires contain Tread Wear Indicators (Wear
Bars) in the grooves of the tire tread which
show up when only 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6mm) of tread is remaining. At this stage,
your tires must be replaced. Tires worn beyond
this stage are dangerous.
HAZARDS
Objects in the road that threaten a tire should
be safely avoided. These objects are potholes,
glass, metal, rocks, wood debris and the
like. Unavoidable contact should prompt a
thorough tire inspection.
You may not always recall hitting an object
that can damage or injure your tires. If while
driving your vehicle experiences any unusual
vibrations, ride disturbance or noise and/or you
suspect that possible damage to the tires or
vehicle has occurred, DO NOT JAM OR LOCK
YOUR BRAKES! Rather reduce your speed and
drive with caution until you can safely pull off
the road. Stop and inspect the tires. If the tire is underinflated or damaged, deflate, remove
the tire and rim assembly and replace it with
your spare. If you cannot detect a cause, have
the vehicle towed to the nearest vehicle or tire
retailer to have the vehicle inspected.
REPAIRING, MOUNTING AND
DEMOUNTING OF TIRES
Do not attempt to repair, mount or demount a
tire yourself. Tire changing can be dangerous
and must be done by professionally trained
persons using proper tools and procedures
as specified by the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA). Follow these mounting
recommendations. Your tires should be
mounted on wheels of correct size and type
and which are in good, clean condition. Bent,
chipped or rusted wheels may cause tire
damage. The inside of the tire must be free
from foreign materials. Have your retailer
check the wheels before mounting new tires.
Mismatched tires and rims can explode during
mounting. Also, mismatched tires and rims can
result in dangerous tire failure on the road. If
a tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized
rim, do not remount it on the proper rim -
scrap it. It may be damaged internally (which
is not externally visible) by being dangerously
stretched and could fail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires
are mounted, have new valves of the correct
type installed. Tubeless tires must be mounted
only on wheels designed for tubeless tires, i.e.,
wheels which have safety humps or ledges.

HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY
SPARE TIRES
1)
The high-pressure spare tire in your Infiniti
vehicle is designed for temporary use
only and must not be used continually as
a regular tire. The standard tire should
be repaired and/or replaced as soon as
possible.
2)
Avoid driving over obstacles that may
damage the tire through impact or cutting,
such as potholes, glass, metal, etc.
3) Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h)
for non-speed-rated temporary spare tires.
4)
Temporary spare tires have a limited
treadlife which can vary depending on road
conditions and your driving habits. The
spare tire should be returned to the trunk as
soon as the standard tire can be repaired or
replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was
specifically designed for your car, it should
not be used on any other vehicle.
6) Do not use snow chains on your high-
pressure spare. This could cause damage to
your vehicle.
7) Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure
monthly and maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm2)
even when not in use. 8)

The high-pressure spare tire should not be
used with any other rim nor should standard
tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used on
the high-pressure spare tire rim which was
originally installed.
9)
When the tread wear indicator appears on
the tire, replace it only with the same type
spare tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a
temporary spare tire fitted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the
brakes suddenly when driving on a high-
pressure temporary spare.
Note:
When using any temporary type spare tire,
be sure to follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual
instructions.
TIRE STORAGE
All tires should be stored in a cool dry place
indoors so that there is no danger of water
collecting inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored
in a cool place away from sources of heat
and ozone such as hot pipes and electric
generators. Be sure that surfaces on which
tires are stored are clean and free from grease,
gasoline or other substances which could
deteriorate the rubber. (Tires exposed to these
materials during storage or driving could be
subject to sudden failure.) To Avoid Damage to your Tires and Possible
Accident:
•• Check tire pressure at least once a
month when tires are cold and before
long trips.
•• Do not underinflate/overinflate.•• Do not overload.•• Drive at moderate speeds, observe legal
limits.
•• Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles,
curbs or edges of pavement.
•• Avoid excessive wheel spinning.•• If you see any damage to a tire,
replace with spare and see the tire
manufacturer’s retailer or your Infiniti
retailer.

Guide on passenger tire care, safety and

Council, Box 1801, Washington, D.C. 20013.
