Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Z Cars / June 2004350Z 3rd set of front tires ...alignment issues
I am now going onto my 3rd set of front tires in only 24,000km.. Does any one else have this problem I have been told by the dealer that this is somewhat common. Mine is a 6sp track pack. Sounds like crap to me.. Real soft Rubber? :) How does the car drive.? Normal driving? > I am now going onto my 3rd set of front tires in only 24,000km.. > Does any one else have this problem Wear even of edges, middle etc??? What is the wear index of the tires you're using?  SignatureSteve http://www.atlantaracing.com The tires are OEM Bridgstone RE040's the wear is on the inside edge...cupping due to alingment according to the dealer. Though they have reset the alingment as per factory insturctions the car has continued to wear out tires.. Driving is Mild to Medium daily use. City and highway. It has been cupping a set every 10,000 km. >>I am now going onto my 3rd set of front tires in only 24,000km.. >>Does any one else have this problem > > Wear even of edges, middle etc???

That does sound like an alignment issue but many sports cars have negative camber which can do this with soft tires fairly quickly.

Reiver Does this problem occur on the Infiniti G35 Coupe? > I am now going onto my 3rd set of front tires in only 24,000km.. > Does any one else have this problem > I have been told by the dealer that this is somewhat common. > Mine is a 6sp track pack. its an aligment problem from the dealer, front tire noise 7 they waer fast , iots a bug Nissan is working on, I also have an 03 track model. I also have the 03 track model with the premature tire wear (cupping)... However, talked to some tire experts from different places. They recommended the Eage F1 D3 tires. Ever since the change, i haven't notice any premature wear or excessive noice (cause of tire wear). And those tires grip a lot harder than the bridgestone re40 (sucks!!!)

Seen models of Hondas that had strange tire wear patterns with OE tires but once they were replaced, never reoccured. SignatureSteve http://www.atlantaracing.com My dealer has replaced my tires fre of charge and according to them, the factory front alignment specs have been changed to resolve the issue. Time will tell..... >I also have the 03 track model with the premature tire wear (cupping)... >However, talked to some tire experts from different places. They >recommended the Eage F1 D3 tires.

Anyone else share my >experience? When I asked about the tire wear issue at my dealer about 6 weeks ago, what he said was that the alignment specs were going to be changed to alleviate the problem. So, I concur, time will tell. rtt > My dealer has replaced my tires fre of charge and according to them, > the factory front alignment specs have been changed to resolve the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >grip a lot harder than the bridgestone re40 (sucks!!!)
