Seems as thou the feathering issue may have been solved with the new suspension parts but it seems a bunch of 05's are pulling to the right now which has been an issue since 03' Z's..makes me wonder on that??

Any more observations on your 05's please keep them coming! Thank you!

 

2005 6500 miles and no signs of tire feathering!!! 17 inch factory!!!

 

sounds promising!

 

Although I suppose it is nice to know that people haven't had any problems with their car at 1,200 miles, 3,500 miles, even 6,500 miles, etc., these posts are a bit misleading. I am not sure of the exact mileage of other people's cars who had feathering, but for me it started to show signs at 8.5K-9K. before 8.5K-9K, I too posted in many feathering threads saying there was no sign of it. At 8.5K, I could no longer post that.

In order for a thread like this to be useful, there should be a requirement of at least 9K miles (10K or 11K even better).

 

"10k in 7 months? I'm at 3k in three weeks... LOL.

Mine pulls to the right too."

Goodness 1k/week

 

For the record, my '04 feathered its tires pretty well by 15k miles. Before about 12k, I didn't notice it. But it always had the roaring sound, right up until the alignment.

 

I have a 05 enthusiast with Nismo LMGT4's and Nitto 555's, 6000 miles and no feathering or pulling to the right.

 

2005 Stock rims/tires. 2100 miles. No feathering or pull to the right.

 

8000 miles since may no signs of feathering on stock 18" 35th anniv...

 

I have 19000 that's right 19,000 miles on my '05 that I bought last November, and I don't hear anything from the tires, I just hear the stock exhaust. I will take it in soon to get alignment and balancing, just to make sure it stays true and cost-effective.

 

ThANK YOU FOR THAT POST , FINALLY SOMEONE W/ HIGH MILEAGE AND NO FEATHERING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I put 7000 miles in about 4 months on the stock 17s and did not have any feathering.

On the pulling to the right deal, I've heard that some cars are meant to slightly vear to the right. Not sure how true it is but some safety thing in case a driver falls asleep? Kinda similiar to the driver's side headlights aiming lower than the passenger side.

But if it pulls too much you might check your tire pressure.

 

damnnn 19k miles on an 05..

I just hit 10k.. no problems at all..except for the pull to right issue

 

Looks like we finally may have the feathering problem done with! *knock on wood*

 

mine pulls to the right a little bit but thats bc i think all austin highways and most roads are slightly tilted that way for rain run off.

 

I like what i'm hearing, I'm planning on buying a 05 or possibly an 06. Just depends when i have the right amount on the down payment. By then the 06 should have all the problems taken away. But if i do get a 05, i'm worried about the pulling to the right. I don't want to sound like a douchebag, but I hope it doesn't become a big problem. Oh yeah, what if Nissan did this on purpose, so they could make more money off of you in the long run from this tire feathering in the 03-04s. it's like they're forcing you to buy parts from NISMO. Just my opinion. Thanks for the post, i'll have my decision when you see my car on here.
