Hey guys, just to show you guys what it looks like when you have 39778 miles, and still driving in stock tires. My driving habits were commuting 70 miles 5 days a week. Never raced, just regular driving. Did not take it to dealer for tire feathering. Lease ends in sept 05.

Dude, what in the hell, thats is Tire feathering like a ****!

And its dangerous for you and other people out there, why did you risk your life like that?

And what in the hell are all those scrapes back there,

 

HOLY xxxx!!!! how can you live with the noice those tires make?!?!

 

Ummmm defintely got every penny's worth for that rubber. If the tires had money they would give you some to buy new ones.

 

Hah thats awesome, normally i don't bicth about feathering but send those pics to Nissan!! I guess they will tell you 40k miles is plenty for a set of tires.

 

dude, get some new tires!

 

Damn guy, i'm glad you didn't race anyone. One bad move and KaaaBoooooM !!!!!!!!! (that's your tires exploding). You're lucky they don't have animal control for cars I would have to report you for abuse.

 

Its way past due for new tires! Your risking a blowout and thats not a pretty picture.

 

wearing just on the inside portion of the tires can be linked not only to feathering. looks like normal wear with a setting of negative camber. my guess its roughly -1 to -1.3....

 

Thats what my feathering looked like but i didn't let it get that extreme. Thats dangerous.

 

Just rotate the fronts and you could get another 25k easy.

 

We'll just say you experimented on a closed course for my350z.com purposes. All I can say is WOW!

 

hey guys, i know is dangerous.......
when nissan had the tsb for tire feathering in the front, it was 35k miles or under.......at which that time i passed that fix!
as for new tires, my car will end the lease in sept, and tonight, i will be leaving out of town for couple of months, which i didnt need tires......yet...
I am lucky that those front didnt blow!

 

Save those tires and send them to the dudes witht he law suit. Maybe they'll reimburse you for giving them evidence :P :P

 

Jeez! down to the belts.

What's funny is that there's no sign of feathering b/c there are no tread blocks left!

 

wow man!! mine looked like that after 8k hope these BFG's last a lil longer...

 

a lease says you have to return the car with normal maintenance, and those tires do not qualify. you will need to replace them anyhow.

 

I say they look pretty good for 40k miles on tires rated at 140 tread

 

You guys should see my tires. I will take a pic tomorrow and post it.

My back rears looked like your fronts except they wore down to the steel belt.

A guy had to wave to me and pull me over because he was seeing sparks comming out from the steel belts on the back tires.

 

I think any tire with 40k miles and any negative camber is going to look like that. It's not a case of feathering or premature tire wear. It's normal tire wear.
