Nissan Murano: Cold weather driving / Tire equipment
- SUMMER tires have a tread designed to
provide superior performance on dry
pavement. However, the performance
of these tires will be substantially reduced
in snowy and icy conditions. If
you operate your vehicle on snowy or
icy roads, NISSAN recommends the use
of MUD & SNOW or ALL SEASON TIRES
on all four wheels. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for the tire
type, size, speed rating and availability
information.
- For additional traction on icy roads,
studded tires may be used. However,
some U.S. states and Canadian provinces
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 surfacesmaybe
poorer than that of non-studded snow
tires.
- Tire chains may be used. For additional
information, refer to “Tire chains” in the
“Do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
