Well, it been 3 years, and the warranty is now up.

I still have the feathering on my most recent set of front tires( third set up front, now with 25,000 miles). I tried to get them replaced last week, before the warranty expired, but the dealer said they didn't have enough wear ( ie not growling loud enough). I have called in a complaint to Nissan.

Has anyone had any luck getting things fixed after the warranty period, as long as you complained about it before the warranty expired? I would probably be happy enough just to get the new tires with the modified tread pattern.

 

If you're very nice to your dealer they can request Nissan to goodwill it...Nissan has been very good to me through this process.

That sounds like a tough one. If the tires growl at 37 months, will Nissan replace them? I’d like to say yes, but my better judgment says no. I assume that the front end has been aligned, and you continue to have front tires problems?

 

My car was not at 37k but it was beyond the 3 year bumper-to-bumper. Nissan paid to replace both of my front tires and for the alignment. My dealer went through the goodwill process. Of note, I had complained about the roar about 4 months prior..but at that time tires didn't measure up.

The front end has been aligned several times, and I have had three sets of front tires. Each time has gotten a little better, but the problem keeps coming back.

I guess I have it on the record, and next summer after I drive some more miles, I'll try for the goodwill replacement, when the roar gets bad.

Another option is I would like to try a completely different tire, maybe GoodYears, and see if that helps.

 

nissan incrase tire replacement on the z for 4 years. my brother's car has 42.000 milles and nissan replace new tires an alightment for free nissan still loking to fix problem with tire feathering.

 

Consider buying a front camber kit, and ask the service manager to install the kit for free, and align the front end with the kit.

 

It's weird that so many people have had this problem but not everyone. I have put 15k on my Z since I bought it used and haven't seen the slightest evidence of tire problems yet...

 

My warranty has been out for 3 months. I had to get another window motor replaced the week before it went out. I haven't had issues with tire feathering on my Z.
