Well, my Z was in today for the feathering TSB. After reading all the nightmares here, I was worried how my dealer would react. Well, I am very pleased to say the least. They called me and said they took it for a test ride (hopefully not like Ferris Beuller) after they switched them and adjusted the settings - still growling. They contacted Nissan big boys and they approved the new tires - only three days until they come in!

For all those that have had the new tire replacement and toe settings changed - did the "growl" come back after a while??

Oh, and props to Zarzour Nissan, Willoughby Ohio (unless of course, I get my car back and I find a scratch somewhere)

I had a similar experience. Colonial Nissan (just outside NE Philly). Rotated the tires and changed the alignment. (9300miles)

They said the noise was still there and scheduled an appointment 3 days later for the installation of new fronts.

Now at 10,400 and I dont notice any noise.

My Fingers are crossed.

poop.

I am thinking of moving to the Eagle F1's. Perhaps a different tire will not handle the wear pattern in such a noisy manner.

Dang - that's not what I wanted to hear

What did you dealer have to say about it recurring??

Think about it...

If the feathering was happening on old tires, wouldnt it just repeat on the new tires, assuming suspension and alignment is the same?
