#24 of 36 2005 Z touring roadster tires by biancar Apr 09, 2008 (6:14 am)
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. Replies to this message: smokey70 (May 18, 2008 6:10 pm) leek4747 (Jun 03, 2008 2:33 pm)
#25 of 36 New Tires by pkaine Apr 09, 2008 (12:26 pm)
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?

Replying to: servet (Apr 25, 2008 5:36 pm) 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. Z

Replying to: servet (Apr 25, 2008 5:36 pm) 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.

Replying to: biancar (Apr 09, 2008 6:14 am) 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.

Replying to: biancar (Apr 09, 2008 6:14 am) I just replaced one of my rear tires last week. $225 including install at Sam's Club. I only had one because of a tear. Friend owns a '05 Infinity 35 coupe. He recommends Toyo. Sticks to the road and lasts long. Everything else only lasts about 12000 according to him.   ike '05 touring roadster

#32 of 36 Tire question help needed asap by kaya16 Feb 13, 2009 (6:48 am)
I need 4 tires b/c tire wear is so bad 2003 350z so i found almost new 245/45/18 potenza's for back for $50 each. Well can't find replacements for 225/45/18 anywhere. Guy got in almost new perrelli's no wear on them and give them to me for $70 piece but they are a size smaller. He says won't make a much of a difference but I am not to sure b/c I don't know much about cars. I am all about saving $$$ b/c lost job. These tires are all in great mint shape and retail for big$$$. I need to know asap b/c i have a leak in front tire now. Please help!!! Or should I just get the backs and go online and order 2 new tires for front. If so can you reccomend a solid but cheap pair I should look for. I really think I will be buying the used potenza's for the back for $50 need help for front

Replying to: sweetmotion (Jan 11, 2008 9:52 am) There are 2 issues at work here. An initial design flaw and poor quality tires. From my understanding, Nissan initially set up the front wheels with an agressive camber (wheels slope out at the bottom) to provide extra-tight cornering. Unless you race your car, this is overkill. If you look up the Bridgestone Potenzia tires that are shipped with the car (look at tirerack.com) you will find that these tires have just about the lowest wear rating possible. These tires re extremely expensive and have a low wet traction rating as well. Nissan had their dealers reduced the camber specifications and also provided free replacement front 'Potenza' tires that had a bit harder, longer lasting tire compound. These improved the situation a lot. However, I plan on replacing my free tires with an even better quality and less expensive Z rated tire that offers better wet traction when they wear out.
