Nissan LEAF 2023 Owners Manual
12.15.2.3. Replacing wheels and tyres
When replacing a tyre, use the same size, tread design, 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 that match the quality of those recommended by NISSAN 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 off-set dimension. Wheels with different off-set could cause premature tyre wear, degrade vehicle handling characteristics and/or could cause interference with the brake discs/drums. Such interference can lead to decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake pad/shoe wear.
See
of this manual for wheel off-set dimensions.When exchanging wheels and tyres for wheels and tyres of a different size, the vehicle systems need to be calibrated, see a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer.
