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, including the spare,
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.
● Improper service of the spare tire
may result in serious personal injury.
If it is necessary to repair the
spare tire, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
● For additional information regarding
