: the contact stated the passenger and driver's side tires wore out on the inside. The dealership informed the contact the front end of the vehicle was improperly aligned from the factory and that was the cause of the problem. The two tires were replaced by the manufacturer in 2004. Two months ago, the contact noticed a growling noise coming from the front end of the vehicle. The dealership informed the contact the tread was separating causing the tires to wear our prematurely.
Tire replacement... all 4 tires had to be replace because of wear. Car has 41000 miles on it. Was told tires only good for 25000 miles. Nothing in owners manual or tech bulletin about life of tire or life 2500 miles. Only received 8-29-05 bulletin /tires so worn it was life threatening!!! because wear was 2." no re coverage from your company. My point no pulling, no wear to see, all was inside under the car. Tires so worn metal shows. Called dealership to be told. Tires only good for 25000 miles.. how am I to know this??" I brought in to Goodyear because what I believe to be a nail or something that made my F.D. side have a slow leak... bill to replace tire and do an alignment over $1000. Please help I truly believe I was at no fault. What ever tires on the car.was what ever type Nissan put on bultin states 17 inch P225/50R17&P235/50R17 rear.
Both front tires cupping and feathering with severe rumbling noise in front end. Dealer replaced both front tires 3/31/04 and performed front-end alignment. Returned 1/12/05 with same problem and dealer indicated that they had several identical complaints from other consumers on the 350Z. Dealer has notified Nissan and are going back and forth with them on resolution. Dealer stated that Nissan is trying to claim that the tires are only 15,000 mile tires and that they are the problem. Dealer will contact me again within one week with Nissan's resolution. Dealer did not even examine my vechicle 1/12/05.
I own a 2003 350Z Nissan. I am on my third set of front tires in 24,000 miles. This car is defective and is part of a widespread Nissan problem. Visit www.nissantireproblems.com or the tire forum in www.my350Z.com and you will see that this is a design flaw that Nissan chooses to ignore.
