Tire Wear Problem???
Guys, I'm brand new to this forum and have a question. I am considering getting the 350Z after having just turned in my 2000 S4 from it's lease. I have been reading over the last year about the front tire problems and the possible fixes, according to Autoweek. Has this been resolved, since I'd really like to get one of these "bad boys". Sounds like it could be as much fun for me as the S4 was, when it wasn't visiting the local dealer for various problems.............Let me know!!

No it has not been resolved. There are tons of 04 owners who have the feathering issue.
That said if the thought of replacing tires frequently is enough to scare you away from this car, it's probably not the right car for you. The way the Z encourages you to drive...hahaha...well let's just say tires prob won't last long either way.
But hey, it's still cheaper than replacing the O2 or MAF sensors off the S4 every year!

The thing I miss the most was AWD, but even FWD would be nice around here in the winter. My only advice is for the snow, either budget snow tires or have a 2nd means of getting to work (train, bus, 2nd car).
Buy the Z, you'll almost completely forget about the S4, and never worry about Turbos warming/cooling again.

Re: Tire Wear Problem???
27,000 km's on mine with the same tires since new. The tires are almost shot largely due to feathering, however I think buying two new fronts after 27,000 km's is reasonable.
