unfortunately I am having major problems with my rear tires on my 03 touring. I had to replace the rear OEMs at 9300 and decided to put Bridgestone S-03's on because they have better treadwear ratings. Now, 5000 miles later, they are bald again!!! right rear is worse than left and treadwear is uneven. Anyone have this problem???????? or know what is causing this???? I appreciate any help,
thanks

And no I dont do any burnouts, $250 a tire is way too much to be destroying them every six months. Maybe I can post some pics tomorrow.

Get yourself some rear camber arms and a good alignment.

also I would think you should check your tire pressure, are they bald in the middle of the wheel?

yeah i plan on the camber arms, but i still have warranty left and dont feel like voiding it yet. and the alignment was done by NISSAN! hopefully i can get new tires for free.

i check the tire pressures weekly, and yes most of the wear is in the middle, the right wheel is more slanted inside, but the left just wore down all over except for the outside edge

Most tire warranties are only on the fronts.

Talk to your service advisor and ask. See if they'll give you any crap if you put them on or, ask if they will install them and still honor the warranty. Your just trying to fix a problem that they obviously can't fix.

They will not touch the rears, esp after you replace them.

Hey guys, thought I would let you know that I found out the problem. I had a wreck about 5 months ago and the lady barely clipped my right rear wheel. It appeared there was no damage but in actuality the camber arm and toe arm were both bent. Since the body shop did an alignment, they should have noticed the problem, but they didnt. they should have noticed because the camber was 2.8, way out of spec.

That will do it

yeah, but I got pissed at my insurance company and they are going out to Nissan to look at it....they will pay! or else

Thanks for the update. Where was this "bodyshop" you went too?

zluver

caliber collision center--its on 7th street in Fort Worth. I dont remember the whole address. I would never have gone there if it wasnt my insurance companies "preferred" body shop in the area and they guaranteed the work. Yeah right....guaranteed youd be coming back, again and again. Hey Fairlady, did you hear about the Z meet in Arlington this Saturday?
