- 2A space saver tyre allows the Magnite to offer 336-litres boot space
- 3The X-Trail gets a puncture repair kit instead of a spare tyre to save weight
For a long time, Nissan had just one SUV in its lineup for India until the super-exclusive but low-spec X-Trail was launched in August 2024. The Magnite is due for a facelift in October, focusing on improving the compact crossover's perceived quality while retaining its value-for-money proposition and well-engineered build. The manufacturer has promised more made-for-India products, but we must wait and see what is in store. Let’s check out the tyre pressure details of Nissan cars in India in detail:

Nissan car tyre tips
- You should retighten the wheel bolts every 1000km
- You should rotate the tyres every 10,000km for even wear and tear. This is true for both the Magnite as well as the X-Trail, as these are front wheel drive SUVs with the same size tyres on both axles
- The tyre rotation pattern to be followed for the Magnite and the X-Trail. The spare tyre should not be part of the rotation
- In variants fitted with a tyre pressure monitoring system, care should be taken not to damage the pressure sensors placed on the inside the wheels
- Tyres over six years old should be replaced regardless of the distance they have been driven
- The Nissan Magnite is equipped with a temporary-use spare wheel; this is not designed to be driven at speeds over 80km and for long periods. Nissan recommends users should change the punctured tyre at the first opportunity
- Refitting upsized tyres can affect the assistance systems of the vehicle; this includes the predictive parking lines on the rear-view camera, where larger-diameter tyres can affect turning distances
Upsized tyres can increase the chances of a roll-over accident
