I'm looking at purchasing an 05 350z.

1. Does anyone know if the tire feathering issue is resolved for this model?

2. What can be done to fix the problem if it exists? and cost of repair?

3. Does the tire look like its feathering already (link below) take a look at the picture of the tire.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

 

that's a clean looking 05, especially the nice mileage count. Probably driven by a senior for weekend trips with the top down.

 

auto????????? you'll regret it...

 

Thanks for asking but I am all talked about feathering. See: https://my350z.com/forum/maintenance-and-repair/15758-tire-feathering-fyi.html.

 

hay davidv im not suer if my Z has tire fethering can you tell me everything about it?

 

davidv I know that there are many posts and i dont have the time to read all of them. i'm not asking for long detailed answers....a simple yes or no..would be nice

 

I have an '05 with no issues.
From reading the numerous posts on this subject, the tire feathering issue seems to be confined to '03 and '04 models. Not all had this problem.
As I understand it, again from reading here, there was an '04.5 model which seems to have addressed the problem.
Good luck and beautiful car by the way.
Lastly look on www.nissanhelp.com for tire alignment or tire wear issues.

 

Auto's not so bad.

 

Thanks Blu Hvn!!

 

I bought my 05 Touring roadster a year ago. No tire feathering at all. Most of the suspension/alignment problems were in the 03s/04s/.
