tire type, size, speed rating and
availability.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.

ing tires, refer to “Important Tire
Safety Information” (US) or “Tire
Safety Information” (Canada) in the
Warranty Information Booklet.
All-season tires
NISSAN specifies all-season tires on some
models to provide good performance for use
all year around, including snowy and icy road
conditions. All-season tires are identified by ALL
SEASON on the tire sidewall.
Summer tires
The GT-R summer tires are made from a
specially formulated rubber to maximize the
vehicle’s performance capabilities. Performance
of summer tires is substantially reduced when
temperatures are less than 32
8F (08C) so you
must drive carefully. NISSAN recommends the
use of winter or all-season tires on all four
wheels if you plan to operate your vehicle in
snowy or icy conditions when temperatures are
less than 32
8F (08C).
WARNING
Never use summer tires when the
temperature is below
í48F (í208C) to
prevent permanent tread deformation
which may cause tire damage or tire
failure. This may cause a loss of vehicle
control which can result in serious
personal injury or death.
Run-flat tires
Your vehicle is equipped with run-flat tires. You
can continue driving to a safe location even if
they are punctured. Always use run-flat tires of
the specified size on all four wheels. Mixing tire
sizes or construction may reduce vehicle hand-
ling stability. If necessary, contact a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer for assistance.
Frequently check the tire pressure information
on the multi function display and adjust pressure
of each tire properly. See the separate Multi
Function Display Owner’s Manual.
It can be difficult to tell if a run-flat tire is under-
inflated or flat. Check the tire pressures as
described earlier in this section. If the tire
becomes under-inflated while driving, the low
tire pressure warning light will come on. If the
tire becomes flat while driving, the low tire
pressure warning light and the run-flat tire
warning display will come on.
Low tire pressure:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the low tire pressure warning light will
illuminate and the low tire pressure warning will
appear in the vehicle information display.
Flat tire:
If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat
tires, the low tire pressure warning light will
illuminate continuously and a chime will sound
for 10 seconds. The run-flat tire warning also
appears in the vehicle information display.
The chime will only sound at the first indication
of a flat tire and the run-flat tire warning display
will illuminate continuously. When the flat tire
warning is activated, have the system reset and
the tire checked and replaced if necessary by a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. Even if the tire is
inflated to the specified COLD tire pressure, the
warning light will continue to illuminate until the
system is reset by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer.
