TYPES OF TIRES
WARNING
O When changing or replacing tires,
be sure all four tires are of the
same type (i.e., summer, all sea-
son or snow) and construction.
Your INFINITI retailermay be able
to help youwith 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 rat-
ing of the tire.
O For additional information re-
garding tires, refer to “Important
Tire Safety Information” in the
Infiniti Warranty Information
booklet (US).
All season tires
INFINITI 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 and/or M&S on the tire side-
wall. Snow tires have better snow traction than
all season tires and may be more appropriate
in some areas.
Snow tires
If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to
select tires equivalent in size and load rating
to the original equipment tires. If you do not,
it can adversely affect the safety and handling
of your vehicle.
If you install snow tires, they must also be the
same size, brand, construction and tread
pattern on all four wheels.
Generally, snow tires will have lower speed
ratings than factory equipped tires and may
not match the potential maximum vehicle
speed. Never exceed the maximum speed
rating of the tire.
If you operate your vehicle in snowy or icy
conditions, INFINITI recommends the use of
snow or all season tires on all four wheels.
For additional traction on icy roads, studded
tires may be used. However, some provinces
and states prohibit their use. Check local,
state and provincial laws before installing
studded tires. Skid and traction capabilities of
studded snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces,
