Wheels and Tires
As befits a very special car, so the tires for the Nissan GT-R are unique, specially developed for Nissan’s flagship. The tires offer an extraordinary combination of high-speed balance, high-grip cornering on the world’s most testing racing circuits (such as the Nürburgring), great traction in the rain plus pliant comfort in the city. The tires’ run-flat structures allow for 80 km (50 miles) of driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) - an amazing achievement.
Specially developed by Bridgestone and Dunlop, the tires have very stiff treads, essential for high-speed driving. They are also excellent at dissipating water, important for a car designed to perform equally well on smooth racing circuits or winter country roads.
Normally, run-flat tires have very hard sidewalls, essential for maintaining tire shape after a puncture. The Nissan GT-R’s tires have unusually pliant sidewalls, improving steering, agility and ride comfort. They are filled with nitrogen rather than conventional air, which prevents pressure change during high speed driving.
The tires are 255/40ZRF20 front and larger 285/35ZRF20 rear. The 20-inch alloy wheel rims have special knurling better to secure the tires during especially hard acceleration or braking.
Studless tires, specially designed for the Nissan GT-R, are also available through selected Nissan dealers in Japan.
