Feathering was noted on my '04 Touring Roadster when I took it in very recently for its 7,500 mile maintenance.

The Virginia dealer indicated he would contact Nissan in California to determine the company's position.

The dealer called me back two days later and told me to bring the car in and they would:

1. Demount and remount the tires on the wheels opposite each other.

2. They would realign the wheels.

3. Both of the above HAD TO BE COMPLETED before the Z reached 12,000 miles.

I have no idea what magic there is in that 12,000 mile figure, but I will comply. If that fix doesn't work, I'll probably have to go to the mat.



The

 

12,000 miles is the limit for the warranty to apply. You are paying for fixes AFTER 12,000 miles has rolled over on your odometer!

 

I assume you are referring to the Potenza tire warranty.

 

No that's not the tire companys warranty that is Nissan's warranty on alignment. They only cover alignment for the first 12,000 miles, after that it will be your responsibility. For the record I think that most other car manufacturers are also 12,000 miles for alignment. I could be wrong on that but I think most are.

 

that's right, 12,000 miles is the limit. I had my tires replaced and alignment done at 11,750 miles.

 

On a side note, I had mine done (rotated and replaced) after 12,000......just make sure you get it in writing that the dealer will do it after that mark!

 

the 03s had their alignment warranty extended to 24000 with a customer paid surcharge up to 30000, incrementally increasing 10% every 1000 miles.

 

i thought in the 04 the tire feathering issue was resolved. should i be concerned since i have a 2004.5???

 

Hey Dave Buswell, what is the build date for you baby?

 

The build date for my '04 is January 2004.
