hello,
my '04 Roadster Enthusiast
has only 3700 miles on it
and everytime i coast from 40mph to 0mph
I hear this woooshing sound from the tires??????

when i recieved the car at 50 miles on the odometer
it would coast very quietly, now i hear the
tires whoooshing when i'm slowing down??????
its gotten louder ever since and now the
sound is constant when i'm slowing down?????
it sounds like a bearing from my old
car when it needed to be changed, but this can't
be, the Roadster is NEW! the tires sound
very much the same as a bearing being replaced....

is it the tires?????


what is this???????

i have a appointment with My Nissan Dealer
in the following weeks and what shall i tell them?????

switch the front tires??????


please HELP!!!!!

Sounds like the dreaded tire feathering issue. See https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=69866

I was hoping that it would be fixed for the 04s but apparently some 04s still have the problem.

I thought the feathering sound was more of a grind than a whoosh.

starts as a woosh...gets worse until it sounds like you're driving a bulldozer....from what i hear anyway.

my dealership is changing my front two tires tomorrow, and
they are also doing a 4wheel alignment also....

i'll repost when it is all done.....

right now it is horrible inside.....
from 40 mph to 0 mph coasting,

seems like (sounds like) there is a dead
spot on the front two tires and its growling
and howling,,,,sounds horrible when my top
is up from the inside cabin......

i'll repost tomorrow.....
