Nissan ARIYA 2023 Owners Manual

11.1.10. Tyre dressing

NISSAN does not recommend the use of tyre dressings. Tyre manufacturers apply a coating to the tyres to help reduce discoloration of the rubber. If a tyre dressing is applied to the tyres, it may react with the coating and form a compound. This compound may come off the tyre while driving and stain the vehicle paint.

If you choose to use a tyre dressing, take the following precautions:

  • Use a water-based tyre dressing. The coating on the tyre dissolves more easily with an oil-based tyre dressing.

  • Apply a light coat of tyre dressing to help prevent it from entering the tyre tread/grooves (where it would be difficult to remove).

  • Wipe off excess tyre dressing using a dry towel. Make sure the tyre dressing is completely removed from the tyre tread/grooves.

  • Allow the tyre dressing to dry as recommended by tyre dressing manufacturer.
