I have a 2003 350Z, I been through a lot of tires, factory tires didn't last long at all and where nosy. Recently I started buying Firestone tires and have not any problems ( I also bought their life time alligment warranty) Last time I brought my Z in they told me that the camber is bend in some, hope that doesn't mean problems down the road. Why did they not allow adjusting the cambers?

My wife's 06 has had stains on the wheels almost since the car was purchased. I have tried various wheel cleaners and nothing seems to work either. I have not yet resorted to a more abrasive solution, but I am thinking that rubbing compound will do the trick. I don't think it is brake dust, and i believe all the factory wheels are clear coated and it appears to be stained underneath the clearcoat...feel free to argue with me

Thought I'd bought a problem also...04 roadsters, had the dealer try to sell me tires showing the inside tread belt coming out...had them do the alignment...print the specs...was not out....talked to the service manager...told me both the mich and high dollar ones on my car are 8 to 12,000 mile tires and most likely are the real problem...I agreed...I went home and ordered from ttp://www.discounttiredirect.com/ bought a set of falkens 40,000mile warranty...i've already put 13,000 on them...still look brand new...oh...and they are cheap

I just bought a used 03' touring edition, amazing machine the 350Z is. I bought it from an Acura dealership, a few days ago i was looking at the exhaust pipes and i notice the right pipe is extended a little further than the left pipe i mean at first i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me then i had my friend look and he said the same thing, is it suppose to be like that? b/c before i bought my Z i saw a Z parked and i was checking it out and i noticed it on that Z too, so can anyone tell me are the pipes suppose to be like that? i was shown the carfacts report and my Z hasnt been in any accidents or had any problems whatsoever
 
if anyone can let me know that would be great!

I just had my car in yesterday for what I thought would be a routine oil change and state inspection, and I'm going to end up paying several hundred dollars for new rear tires!
 
He said they couldn't pass inspection because there is 3/32" left of tread - I looked up the state site and it calls for replacement when there is 2/32" left.
 
I only have 11,000 miles on the car (got in in April of '06, don't drive it in winter, use it for pleasure trips only, no commuting. So it doesn't get heavy wear.
 
To add insult to injury, when I bought the car, the dealer threw in, "to make the deal," a policy that guaranteed free tires at 25,000 miles if I did all my service at the dealership.
 
Which I have done, but now the dealer is claiming these tires need to be replaced already. And of course he's not going to give me new tires, but he finally agreed to give me 10% off.
 
Tires were Michelin Sport Pilots.
 
Does this sound reasonable? Is it time to change dealers? Up until now we've been satisfied with their service but I'm really annoyed right now.

My rear tires need to be replaced and I am considering putting on Goodyear F1 All Season Tires. The front tires are Potenza 040's. Will the F1's work okay with the Potenza's?

Why not pose your question on the 350Z Audio System Questions forum instead of the one which addresses tire and wheels. Might get better feedback there.

Hi, servet,
 
Buying and selling aren't allowed here, but as zekeman1 suggested, you might want to post your question in the 350Z Audio Questions topic. For a quick answer to a quick question, you can also use the "Ask the Community" box on the right side of this page.

Talk about shock. Took my trusty 2005 Z roadster for my first ride of the 2008 Spring (stored over winters). Drove about 700 miles to Martinsville, Va. NASCAR race and back, then put it away. Yesterday a friend was visiting and wanted to see the car. He squatted down to look under the rear and asked me if I had racing slicks. I laughed, thinking he was talking about how wide the tires are (Bridgestone Potenza 225/45R18 96W). He said there's no tread! When I looked I couldn't believe it... absolutely no tread on the right rear and virtually none on the left. The fronts look perfect. I only have 11,000 miles on the car. I'm contacting my dealer in Columbus Ohio tomorrow. I'll post the results of our conversation.
