Tire wear and damage
WARNING
O
Tires should be periodically in-
spected 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.
O
The original tires have built-in
tread wear indicators. When the
wear indicators are visible, the
tire(s) should be replaced.
O
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.
O
Improper service of the spare tire
may result in serious personal in-
jury. If it is necessary to repair the
spare tire, contact an INFINITI
dealer.

garding tires, refer to “Important

Replacing wheels and tires
When replacing a tire, use the same size,
speed rating and load carrying capacity
as originally equipped. See “Specifica-
tions” in the “9. Technical and consumer
information” section for recommended
types and sizes of tires and wheels.
WARNING
O
The use of tires other than those recom-
mended or the mixed use of tires of dif-
ferent brands, construction (bias, bias-
belted, radial or run-flat), or tread pat-
terns can adversely affect the ride,
braking, handling, ground clearance,
body-to-tire clearance, tire chain clear-
ance, speedometer calibration, head-
light aim and bumper height. Some of
these effects may lead to accidents and
could result in serious personal injury.
O
If the wheels are changed for any
reason, always replace with wheels
which have the same off-set dimension.
Wheels of a different off-set could cause
premature tire wear, degrade vehicle
handling characteristics and/or interfer-
ence with the brake discs. Such interfer-
ence can lead to decreased braking effi-
