fusion243 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I am hopefully getting an 03 350z next week. Only 16k on the clock (has been off the road for the last 4 years since being imported) and was just wondering whether this infamous issue of tyre feathering/wear is something that affects the Japanese 350z's since most of the complaints of it seem to be coming from the US... And if so, since it is now 8 years on, was there a definite fix for it? Since everything I've read has simply been speculative suggestions to change tyre manufacturer and adjust wheel alignment.

Dblock Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 if the car is aligned properly you wont have any worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion243 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 So it shouldn't suffer like the US 03 Z's which had this (http://www.nissantireproblems.com/) recognised issue? thanks for the feedback! Also if anyone knows whether the stock 03 Version T had 17 or 18 inch alloys it would be much appreciated - too impatient to hear back from the guy I'm getting the car off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijam Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 On the Bridgestones my JDM car came with I had this problem - and associated shuddering around 60mph. I hated those tyres. Once I changed to new (Goodyear Eagle F1) tyres and was careful to check pressures regularly I had no more issues. Could be that the previous owner ran the tyres underinflated or that the "squarer" profile of the Goodyear's holds up better. cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
