He means the ECU will have a fit if you have to replace one tire b/c of a nail or uneven wearing. Most awd cars, and particularly those with electronic distribution, are very sensitive to changes in tire diameter because they use that information to help decide how much power to route to each wheel and may overheat the differentials if one tire is marginally larger than the others.. Thats why you are sometimes forced to change all 4 tires even if just one is bad...

Speaking of tire costs, Nissan has released service pricing for the GTR in Japan(check out the prices for a brake job and tire change!!)

Oil Change: $216 USD
Oil + Oil Element Change: 29,000 JPY ($250 USD) - include oil cooler service + undertray multi point check
Transmission & Differential Oil Change: $864 USD - include undertray multi point check
Brake Pad Change (all 4): $3500 USD - pad change + rotor service
Tire Change (all 4): $4000 USD - specially developed 20" run flat tires
