Hi guys, I am brand new to forums... Recently I have purchased an 05 350z that has 22k miles on it. I test drove and noticed the "dreaded" tire growl and was wondering if there was a good resolution for this issue. Not to my surprise, the car still has the factory tires on the front of the car and they will be the first thing to go. Wondering if I should go as far as purchasing a lifetime alignment plan from a local tire store. Thanks for everyone's help!

Get an alignment. If the tires are noisy then turn up the radio. The cabin of the Z doesn't really do well in stopping road noise.

I wasn't aware there was a common problem with tire growl with the z, mine hasn't had a problem in the 10 years I've owned it, 22,xxx miles? Maybe the car has sat for a while and the tires are bad.
I would replace them and see if it goes away or apply more skinny pedal and drown out the sound of the tires with the beautiful sound of the VQ35.
Congrats on getting a low mileage z, post some pics of it.
