Nissan WHEELS AND TIRES Guide
BASIC INFORMATION
If you have a flat tire, see “Flat tire” (P.477).
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the low tire pressure warning light is lit, and the “Tire Pressure Low – Add Air” warning message is dis-played in the vehicle information display, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a flat tire while driving). For more details, see “Low tire pressure warning light” (P.102), “Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.286) and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” (P.477).
Tire inflation pressure
Check the pressure of the tires (including the spare) often and always prior to long distance trips. The recommended tire pressure specifications are shown on the Tire and Loading Information label under the “Cold Tire Pressure” heading. The Tire and Loading Information label is affixed to the driver side center pillar. Tire pres-sures should be checked regularly because:
- Most tires naturally lose air over time.
- Tires can lose air suddenly when driven over potholes or other objects or if the vehicle strikes a curb while parking.
The tire pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. The tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds. TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert pro-vides visual and audible signals outside the vehicle for inflating the tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure. (See “TPMS with Easy
Incorrect tire pressure, including under inflation, may adversely affect tire life and vehicle han-dling.
WARNING
- Improperly inflated tires can fail suddenly and cause an accident.
- The Gross Vehicle Weight rating (GVWR) is located on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label. The vehicle weight capacity is indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label. Do not load your vehicle beyond this capacity. Over-loading your vehicle may result in reduced tire life, unsafe operating conditions due to premature tire failure, or unfavorable handling characteristics and could also lead to a serious acci-dent. Loading beyond the specified capacity may also result in failure of other vehicle components.
- Before taking a long trip, or whenever you heavily load your vehicle, use a tire pres-sure gauge to ensure that the tire pressures are at the specified level.
- For additional information regarding tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety Infor-mation” (US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the Warranty Information Booklet.
Tire and Loading Information label
- Seating capacity: The maximum number of occupants that can be seated in the vehicle.
- Vehicle load limit: See “Vehicle loading information” (P.578).
- Original size: The size of the tires originally installed on the vehicle at the factory.
- Cold tire pressure: Inflate the tires to this pressure when the tires are cold. Tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds. The recom-mended cold tire inflation is set by the manufacturer to provide the best balance of tire wear, vehicle handling, driveability, tire noise, etc., up to the vehicle’s GVWR.
- Tire size — see “Tire labeling” (P.532).
- Spare tire size or compact spare tire size
Checking the tire pressure
- Remove the valve stem cap from the tire.
- Press the pressure gauge squarely onto the valve stem. Do not press too hard or force the valve stem sideways, or air will escape. If the hissing sound of air escaping from the tire is heard while checking the pressure, reposition the gauge to elimi-nate this leakage.
- Remove the gauge.
- Read the tire pressure on the gauge stem and compare it to the specification shown on the Tire and Loading Information label.
- Add air to the tire as needed. If too much air is added, press the core of the valve stem briefly with the tip of the gauge stem to release pressure. Recheck the pressure and add or release air as needed.
- Install the valve stem cap.
- Check the pressure of all other tires, including the spare.

TIRE LABELING
Basic information
Federal law requires tire manufac-turers to place standardized infor-mation on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental charac-teristics of the tire and also pro-vides the tire identification number (TIN) for safety standard certifica-tion. The TIN can be used to identify the tire in case of a recall.
Example
Tire size (example: P215/60R16 94H)
- P: The “P” indicates the tire is designed for passenger vehicles.(Not all tires have this informa-tion.)
- Three-digit number (215): This number gives the width in milli-meters of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge.
- Two-digit number (60): This number, known as the aspect ratio, gives the tire’s ratio of height to width.
- R: The “R” stands for radial.
- Two-digit number (16): This number is the wheel or rim diam-eter in inches.
- Two- or three-digit number (94): This number is the tire’s load index. It is a measurement of how much weight each tire can support. You may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by law.
- H: Tire speed rating. You should not drive the vehicle faster than the tire speed rating.
Example (Type A) (if so equipped)
TIN (Tire Identification Number) for a new tire (example: DOT XX XX XXX XXXX)
- DOT: Abbreviation for the “Department of Transportation”. The symbol can be placed above, below or to the left or right of the Tire Identification Number.
- Two-digit code: Manufacturer’s identification mark
- Two-digit code: Tire size
- Three-digit code: Tire type code (Optional)
- Four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built. For example, the numbers 3103 means the 31st week of 2003. If these numbers are missing, then look on the other sidewall of the tire.
Example (Type B) (if so equipped)
TIN (Tire Identification Number) for a new tire (example: DOT XXX XXXXXX XXXX)
- DOT: Abbreviation for the “Department of Transportation”. The symbol can be placed above, below or to the left or right of the Tire Identification Number.
- Three-digit code: Manufacturer’s identification mark
- Six-digit code: Descriptive code used to identify significant char-acteristics of the tire.
- Four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built. For example, the numbers 3103 means the 31st week of 2003.
Tire ply composition and material
The number of layers or plies of rubber-coated fabric in the tire.
Tire manufacturers also must indi-cate the materials in the tire, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
Maximum permissible inflation pressure
This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should be put in the tire. Do not exceed the maximum permissible inflation pressure.
Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maxi-mum load in kilograms and pounds that can be carried by the tire. When replacing the tires on the vehicle, always use a tire that has the same load rating as the factory installed tire.
Term of “tubeless” or “tube type”
Indicates whether the tire requires an inner tube (“tube type”) or not (“tubeless”).
The word “radial”
The word “radial” is shown, if the tire has radial structure.
Manufacturer or brand name
Manufacturer or brand name is shown.
Other tire-related terminology
In addition to the many terms that are defined throughout this sec-tion, Intended Outboard Sidewall is
- the sidewall that contains a whitewall, bears white lettering or bears manufacturer, brand and/or model name molding that is higher or deeper than the same molding on the other sidewall of the tire, or
- the outward facing sidewall of an asymmetrical tire that has a par-ticular side that must always face outward when mounted on a vehi-cle.
TYPES OF TIRES
Basic information
WARNING
- When changing or replacing tires, be sure all four tires are of the same type (Example: Summer, All Season or Snow) and construc-tion. A NISSAN dealer may be able to help you with information about tire type, size, speed rating and availability.
- Replacement tires may have a lower speed rating than the factory equipped tires, and may not match the potential maximum vehicle speed. Never exceed the maximum speed rating of the tire.
- Replacing tires with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.
- For additional information regarding tires, refer to “Impor-tant Tire Safety Information” (US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the Warranty Informa-tion Booklet.
- Always use tires of the same type, size, brand, construction 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 can cause the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system to malfunction resulting in personal injury or death, exces-sive tire wear and may damage the transmission, transfer case and differential gears.
All season tires
NISSAN specifies all season tires on some models to provide good performance all year, including snowy and icy road condi-tions. All Season tires are identified by ALL SEASON and/or M&S (Mud and Snow) on the tire sidewall. Snow tires have better snow traction than All Season tires and may be more appropriate in some areas.
Summer tires
NISSAN specifies summer tires on some models to provide superior performance on dry roads. Summer tire performance is substantially reduced in snow and ice. Summer tires do not have the tire traction rating M&S on the tire sidewall.
If you plan to operate your vehicle in snowy or icy conditions, NISSAN recom-mends the use of SNOW tires or ALL SEA-SON tires on all four wheels.
Snow tires
If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size and load rat-ing to the original equipment tires. If you do not, it can adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle. Generally, snow tires will have lower speed ratings than factory equipped tires and may not match the potential maxi-mum vehicle speed. Never exceed the maximum speed rating of the tire. If you install snow tires, they must be the same size, brand, construction and tread pattern on all four wheels. For additional traction on icy roads, stud-ded tires may be used. However, some U.S. states and Canadian provinces pro-hibit their use. Check local, state and pro-vincial laws before installing studded tires. Skid and traction capabilities of studded snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may be poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.
TIRE CHAINS
WARNING
If tire chains are used with this vehi-cle, they must allow sufficient clear-ance between the tire and the closest vehicle suspension or body compo-nent. Failure to use the correc t chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the brakes, sus-pension or other vehicle parts and cause a crash in which a person could be seriously injured or killed. NISSAN recommends using the following chains, or equivalent.
- PEERLESS SUPER Z6 SZ-429
Use of tire chains may be prohibited according to location. Check the local laws before installing tire chains. When installing tire chains, make sure they are the proper size for the tires on your vehi-cle and are installed according to the chain manufacturer’s suggestions. Use only SAE Class S chains. Class “S” chains are used on vehicles with restricted tire to vehicle clearance. Vehicles that can use Class “S” chains are designed to meet the SAE standard minimum clearances between the tire and the closest vehicle suspension or body component required to accommodate the use of a winter traction device (tire chains or cables). The minimum clearances are determined using the factory equipped tire size. Other types may damage your vehicle. Use chain tensioners when recommended by the tire chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links of the tire chain must be secured or removed to prevent the possibility of whipping action damage to the fenders or underbody. If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle when using tire chains. In addition, drive at a reduced speed. Otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/or vehicle handling and performance may be adversely affected. Tire chains must be installed only on the front wheels and not on the rear wheels. Never install tire chains on a TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire. Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driv-ing with tire chains in such conditions can cause damage to the various mecha-nisms of the vehicle due to some over-stress.
CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES
Tire rotation
NISSAN recommends rotating the tires at the specified interval shown in the maintenance schedule. (See the “Maintenance and schedules” section. For tire replacing proce-dures, see “Flat tire” (P.477).)
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the specified torque with a torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to the specification at all times. It is recommended that wheel nuts be tightened to the specification at each tire rotation interval.
2024 Nissan Rogue Review, Specs, Price and Mileage (Brochure)
WARNING
- Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for 600 miles (1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire, etc.).
- Do not include the spare tire in the tire rotation.
- For additional information regarding tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety Infor-mation” (US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the Warranty Information Booklet.
- After rotating the tires, do not use the Easy-Fill Tire Alert to adjust the tire pres-sure. Instead use a gauge to adjust the tires to the correct pressure in accordance with Tire and Loading Informa-tion label.
- To ensure proper operation of the Easy-Fill Tire Alert system after a tire rotation, reset and register the sensor to their new installed loca-tions. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
- Wear indicator
- Wear indicator location mark
Tire wear and damage
WARNING
- Tires should be periodically inspected 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.
- The original tires have built-in tread wear indicators. When wear indicators are visible, the tire(s) should be replaced.
- Tires degrade with age and use. Have tires, including the spare, over 6 years old checked by a qualified tech-nician, because some tire damage may not be obvious. Replace the tires as neces-sary to prevent tire failure and possible personal injury.
- Improper service of the spare tire may result in serious personal injury. If it is necessary to repair the spare tire, it is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
- For additional information regarding tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety Infor-mation” (US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the Warranty Information Booklet.
Replacing wheels and tires
When replacing a tire, use the same size, tread design, speed rating and load carry-ing capacity as originally equipped. (See “Specifications” (P.573) for recommended types and sizes of tires and wheels.)
WARNING
- The use of tires other than those recommended or the mixed use of tires of different brands, construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), or tread patterns can adversely affect the ride, braking, handling, VDC system, ground clearance, body-to-tire clearance, tire chain clearance, speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents and could result in serious personal injury.
- For Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) models, if your vehicle was origi-nally equipped with 4 tires that were the same size and you are only replacing 2 of the 4 tires, install the new tires on the rear axle. Placing new tires on the front axle may cause loss of vehicle control in some driving conditions and cause an accident and personal injury.
- 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 interference with the brake discs/drums. Such interfer-ence can lead to decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe wear. See “Wheels and tires” (P.573) of this manual for wheel off-set dimen-sions.
- Since the spare tire is not equipped with the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not func-tion and the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute. The light will remain on after 1 minute. Have your tires replaced and/or TPMS system reset as soon as possible. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for these services.
- Replacing tires with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper 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. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for ID regis-tration.
- 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 tire even if it has been repaired. Such wheels or tires could have structural damage and could fail without warning.
- The use of retread tire is not recommended.
- For additional information regarding tires, refer to “Impor-tant Tire Safety Information” (US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the Warranty Informa-tion Booklet.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models
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 circumfer-ence difference between tires on the front and rear axles which will cause excessive tire wear and may damage the transmission and the drivetrain parts.
- Only use spare tires specified for each AWD model.
If excessive tire wear is found, it is recom-mended that all four tires be replaced with tires of the same size, brand, con-struction and tread pattern. The tire pres-sure and wheel alignment should also be checked and corrected as necessary. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
Wheel balance
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and tire life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out of balance. There-fore, they should be balanced as required.
Wheel balance service should be per-formed with the wheels off the vehicle. Spin balancing the wheels on the vehi-cle could lead to mechanical damage. For additional information regarding tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety Informa-tion” (US) or “Tire Safety Information” (Canada) in the Warranty Information Booklet.
Care of wheels
See “Cleaning exterior” (P.494) for details about care of the wheels.
Spare tire
Since the spare tire is not equipped with the TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted (TEMPORARY USE ONLY), the TPMS will not function.
Observe the following precautions if the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire must be used, otherwise your vehicle could be damaged or involved in an accident.
WARNING
- The TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire should be used for emergency use. It should be replaced with the standard tire at the first opportu-nity to avoid possible tire or differ-ential damage.
- Drive carefully while the TEMPO-RARY USE ONLY spare tire is installed. Avoid sharp turns and abrupt braking while driving.
- Periodically check spare tire infla-tion pressure. Always keep the pressure of the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire at 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 bar).
- With the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire installed, do not drive your vehicle at speeds faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h).
- When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire should be used on the rear wheels and orig-inal tire used on the front wheels (drive wheels). Use tire chains only on the front (original) tires.
- Tire tread of the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire will wear at a faster rate than the standard tire. Replace the spare tire as soon as the tread wear indicators appear.
- Do not use the spare tire on other vehicles.
- Do not use more than one spare tire at the same time.
- Do not tow a trailer when the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire is installed.
CAUTION
- Do not use tire chains on a TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire. Tire chains will not fit properly and may cause damage to the vehicle.
- Because the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire is smaller than the original tire, ground clearance is reduced. To avoid damage to the vehicle, do not drive over obsta-cles. Also do not drive the vehicle through an automatic car wash since it may get caught.
