What owners wrote
Nissan 350z. Lost control of car just changing lanes at 45 MPH. Car spun sideway and when I tried to recover, steering was almost impossible as tires seemed to be just gliding wherever they wanted to go. I am just now connecting this incident to the just became aware of tire and front end problem that nissan seems to be having with this vehicle. I only wish somebody had told me my front end was not aligned and tracking correctly and that my tires were worn away on the inner edges.
Dt*: 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.
