Tire wear and damage
WARNING
. Tires should be periodically in-
spected for wear, cracking, bul-
ging 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 techni-
cian 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 “Important
Tire Safety Information” (US) or
“Tire Safety Information” (Cana-
da) in the Warranty Information
Booklet.
Replacing wheels and tires
When tire replacement is required, replacing
tires as a set of f our 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. 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,
