Question Is there 2005 z350 tire cupping?

Just about to purchase a 2005 350z Automatic Enth.
Wondering if tire cupping is relating to 2005 models
or/and is it related to Manual or Auto tranny?

Please any feedback would be appretiated before I buy.

For some it's too early to tell, but the general consensus is that the problem has not been 100% eliminated in 05's. The real answer is only a very few number of people have this problem so far.

Welcome to the forums, FYI I would do a forum search before you post any new topics. This topic has been covered in several other threads.

Well from what i gather when i read any model made on the month 05 in 2004 and before are prone to it.

I asked if my 2005 made on 09 in 2004 is prone to it, no responce.

Second my 2005 made in 09 in 2004 doesnt veer to the right either that some people are complaining about bad alighments.

This info what i have seem to gather i can not garentee any of it to be correct, just things i have put together for my self.

How to check model date? open the drivers door and look at the sticker, my best guess is avoid a 05/2004 production dates and before and try to find sometihng current as possible.

I have an 05 with 3k on it and I honestly think it has not been resovled. But only time will tell. I say this because my Z drifts to the right like the 03's and 04's. Although not everyone experiences this it's enough to be a problem. But I think I speak for alot of Z owners when I say I wouldn't let that stop me from buying a Z. It's one of the perks of owning a sports car. There are so many other good things about this car that'll more than make up for it. Good luck.
