NISSAN TIRE ROTATION AND PRESSURE RECOMMENDATIONS, ALL MODELS


TIRE ROTATION

Front and rear tires perform different jobs and can wear differently. For longer tire life, tires should be inspected and rotated at 6,000 to 8,000 mile intervals. However, it is important to point out that rotation should be performed more frequently if there are signs of irregular or uneven wear.

If premature, irregular or uneven tire wear exist, the following items should be checked:

^ Tire pressure
^ Bumper/suspension height
^ Front and rear suspension alignment

NOTE: For optimum tire wear, toe-in should be set to near zero as allowed by the specification.

Also see Technical Bulletins:

^ WT85-006, Rear Tire Wear, Sentra/Pulsar
^ RA86-003, Uneven Tire Wear, 200SX

The recommended tire rotation patterns for 1987 and later models is shown on page WT-10. Refer to the appropriate Service or Owner's Manual for 1986 and earlier models.


TIRE PRESSURE

A tire will normally lose between 1/2 and 2 psi per month. For optimum tread wear, tire performance and fuel economy, tire pressure should be checked at least once every month. A tire size and pressure application chart for 1985, 1986 and some 1987 Nissan models is included on pages WT-10 and -11.
