Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
11.20.8. Changing tyres and wheels
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
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), speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents 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 decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe wear.
Confirm the following for the TPMS.
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
for details about the resetting procedure.)Replacing tyres 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. 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 recommended.
