I sent out an email to Nissan and said this:
<comments>i was wondering what Nissan was doing about the tire feathering problem on the Nissan 350Z, and if Nissan has acknowledged the fact that it is a problem. I have a 350z and want to go to a dealership and get it checked out, as of now would I be charged

Here was their reply:


Thank you for your e-mail. I apologize for the delayed response. Nissan has released an extended warranty for this issue for 2 years from the in-service date and unlimited mileage. I would suggest making an appointment with your local Nissan dealership's service department for assistance.


If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at
800.NISSAN1.


So good new for us, just wanted to let everyone know!

 

No just good news for 2003 350Z owners, what about 2004 owners? And what happens after the extended warranty ends? Buy new tires every 6,000 miles???

 

I think it goes for all 350z's, and I don't know what would happen after the extended warranty ends...

 

Nope not all Z's.

The extended Front Wheel Alignment Warranty for all MY 2003 350Z's will be two (2) years, from the original in-service date. For vehicles experiencing this noise, Nissan will inspect the tires for this irregular wear pattern, and will rotate or replace affected tires per the protocol noted in the technical service bulletin (see attached). For vehicles whose front tires were previously replaced due to tire roar or growl, Nissan will reimburse customers for front tires that were replaced with less than 30,000 miles of usage at the time of replacement based on documented front tire noise complaints (prorated from 21,001 to 30,000 miles).
