570 miles, no feathering . We'll see in a year

 

LOL... its a little early for you.

 

this is the deal in aus

i spoke to 5 dealers yesterday and asked about alignment and tyre noise.

all 5 said they havnt had any issues with the zeds.....

one dealer told me i will need to replace the rubber every 20k *12,000 miles*
and i will need an allignment / ballance every 10k *6000 miles*
he said something that made no sence like the zed is heavy on the road or some crap.. whatever that means...

i booked my car in *not at nissan* and it is getting alligned and ballanced next week, i will speak to the guys doing it, as they are an upmarket suspention place and see what they come up with.
my car vibrates like hell, is loud as crap, and pretty much sucks nuts to drive, i hope next week i will be enlightened..

also how do you guys score new rubber under warranty???
i asked yesterday and since allignment isnt covered under warranty (its a regular matinence thing) how are you getting new tyers??

 

A technical service bulliten was released about a year ago that instructs the Nissan servicers how to identify and fix? the problem.

 

anymore 05' owner who would like to make a comment on any tire feathering issue on their car?

 

Probably kinda early for me, but no signs of feathering yet on my '05 Z with 3100 miles.

 

7,100 miles.
NO FEATHERING (yet).

what model Z did you get? Do you drive it mostly highway or in city?
