450 Maintenance and do-it-yourself
CHANGING TYRES AND WHEELS
MEVT33A1-41BC763C-419B-45A4-AD0E-D41987D9B9CC
WARNING
Do not install a deformed wheel or tyre even if
it has been repaired. Such wheels or tyres
could have structural damage and could fail
without warning.
When replacing a tyre, use the same size, speed
rating and load carrying capacity as originally
equipped. (See “Tyres and Wheels” (P.448) for
recommended types and sizes of tyres and
wheels.) The use of tyres other than those
recommended or the mixed use of tyres of
different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted,
or radial), or tread patterns can adversely affect
the ride, braking, handling, ground clearance,
body-to-tyre clearance, snow chain clearance,
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), speed-
ometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper
height. Some of these effects may lead to acci-
dents and could result in serious personal injury.
If the wheels are changed for any reason, always
replace with wheels which have the same offset
dimension. Wheels of a different offset could cause
early tyre wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling
characteristics and/or interference with the brake
discs/drums. Such interference can lead to de-
creased braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/
shoe wear.
Confirm the following for the TPMS.
WARNING
* If your vehicle was originally equipped with
4 tyres that were the same size and you
are only replacing 2 of the 4 tyres, install
the new tyres on the rear axle. Placing new
tyres on the front axle may cause loss of
vehicle control in some driving conditions
and cause an accident and personal injury.
* After a tyre or a wheel is replaced, the
TPMS must be reset. (See “Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.240) for de-
tails about the resetting procedure.)
* Replacing tyres with those not originally
specified by NISSAN could affect the prop-
er operation of the TPMS.
* The TPMS sensor may be damaged if it is
not handled correctly. Be careful when
handling the TPMS sensor.
* When replacing the TPMS sensor, the ID
registration may be required. Contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for ID
registration.
* Do not use a valve stem cap that is not
specified by NISSAN. The valve stem cap
may become stuck.
* Be sure that the valve stem caps are
correctly fitted. Otherwise the valve may
be clogged up with dirt and cause a
malfunction or loss of pressure.
* Do not install a damaged or deformed
wheel or tyre even if it has been repaired.
Such wheels or tyres could have structural
damage and could fail without warning.
* The use of retread tyre is not recom-
mended.
WHEEL BALANCE
MEVT33A1-89DC94BE-30B6-4D4F-83D4-7CDA2484D5D9
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling
and tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get
out of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced
as required.
JACKING UP VEHICLE AND REPLACING
TYRES
MEVT33A1-081295B6-3027-4861-9BF7-9260D4AC0D65
This section provides the information about the
vehicle jack-up procedures and the tyre replace-
ment.
You can temporarily fix a minor tyre puncture
using the emergency tyre puncture repair kit. (See
“Repairing flat tyre” (P.405).)
WARNING
* Be sure to apply the parking brake firmly.
* Be sure to press the park button to engage
the P (Park) position.
* Never change tyres when the vehicle is on
a slope, ice or slippery area. This is hazar-
dous.
* Never change tyres when the oncoming
traffic is close to your vehicle. Call for
professional road assistance.
