hem Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 i know wear comes down to alot of different factors but in general what sort of mileage are you guys getting? im doing mainly dual carrigeway motoway driving around 70mph on average,lol but the car is getting close to 20k front but around 7k on rears i know its a rear wheel drive just wondering if its the setup im running or this wear is normal for the 370 370Z Nismo im running KW V3 coil-overs fully adjustable, Eibach 20mm wheels spacers all round, Eibach front and rear camber kit, MPSS Is it worth trying a differnt make of tyre ie less grippie but longer lasting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 MPSS are quite long lasting to be fair. Are your rears wearing evenly across the width of the tyre? How much toe are you running on the rears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hem Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 the wear is about 3-4mm more on the inside shoulders not had them looked at as i bought the car with the suspension,spaces and camber already done, could altering tyre pressures give a little more even wear ?. this post is really to find out what others are generally getting if mine are few k off then im not to bothred if others are getting twice my mileage on the rears then obviously its something im gonna have to address Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I'd say your toe and camber at the rear could be out / aggressive . Maybe worth getting a full alignment done and adjust accordingly . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 if the wear isn't even, you have tracking issues. Get the wheels aligned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Rear toe and camber will be the cause. Get a full 4 wheel alignment done on a proper machine with a competent operator. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hem Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 would there be any issues cos its been lowered and had susppension, spacers and a camber kit fitted there are very few places around my area so choices are limited when they do adjustments are they car setup specific or do they revert them back to manufacturer 370z original settings which from what im guessing would not sort the problem. sorry never had any dealings with abnormal tyre wear in the past guess ive been pretty lucky.

brillomaster Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 yeah make sure they can clip the alignment tools onto the wheels ok! if the rims are tucked up in the arches it may be a bit difficult. once the alignment tools are fitted, first step is finding out what settings you currently have on there. I suspect adjusting back to standard settings will cure the problem, most manufacturers aim for stable, slightly understeering handling, and maximise tyre life. Most enthusiasts then tune away from there for better lateral grip, at the expense of tyre life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I would make a trip to a decent known 4 wheel alignment place , even if it's a few miles . Will save you money in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
