* Make sure to replace the grommet seal, the valve core
and the valve cap of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor attached to the wheel every 3 years for
performance driving use. Replace them every 5 years
even when not engaging in performance driving. A dirty
grommet seal will cause the air leak from the tire.

* Make sure that the nuts and valves that are attached to
the TPMS sensor are tight and there is no nitrogen leak.

* Use only a NISSAN genuine valve cap or equivalent.

* Check wheel hub run out and that the wheel rotates
smoothly without any friction. Check these with the tires
removed whenever an inspection is performed with the
vehicle jacked up.

* Secure road wheel balance weights with aluminum tape.

* Check that the wheel nuts are not stripped.

* Make sure the tire has not slipped on the wheel causing
the assembly to be out of balance. The reference marks on
the tire and wheel should be aligned. If the reference
marks are not aligned, the tire has slipped on the wheel.
Have the wheels/tires rebalanced. Make sure the old
reference marks are erased and new reference marks are
applied to the wheel and tire. When installing new tires on
the wheels, make sure new reference marks are applied to
the wheels and tires.

Avoid the driving conditions listed under

Љ in this section for 48 hours after tires are

installed on the wheels. The tire may slip on the wheel if
the vehicle is driven in these conditions before 48 hours
have passed. If the tire slips on the wheel, the wheel/tire
assembly will be out of balance and will require rebalanc-
ing.
