SERVICE INFORMATION

When customers inquire about tire replacement for Applied Model vehicles, please remind them of the recommended guidelines in their respective Owner's Manual.

TIRE REPLACEMENT CAUTION:

^ Always use tires of the same size, brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do so may result in a circumference difference between tires on the front and rear axles which will cause excessive tire wear and may damage the transmission, transfer case or differential gears.

^ If excessive tire wear is noted, Nissan recommends that all four tires be replaced with tires of the same size, brand, construction and tread pattern. The tire pressure and wheel alignment should also be checked and corrected as needed.

^ If you install snow tires, they must also be the same size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all four wheels.

^ Use only the spare tires specified for each 4WD or all-wheel drive models.
