They come with the Firestones label now and not the Bridgestone? I would have sworn the few I've seen have Bridgestones... regardless...

Don't ***** the break-in period!

Dude what are you talking about ? I'm just curious where this is comming from because it seems a bit random. Are you saying there are faulty tires, and motors are blowing. You are correct with the bird poop comment though.

Is this suppose to be new information? PLus the whole engine "break in" is complete BS, drive it like you stole it, your not going to blow it up.

1. Stock wheels suck bawls anyway especially on the 370Z.

2. Birds don't single out bright cars to take $hits on.

3. After the engine is broken in then you should drive it like you stole it. I'm also pretty sure after a few mods you can make it a race car.

4. If you don't know how to remove the fault code by yourself for less than $100 then you shouldn't even have a car.

5. This thread is teh fail.

Now remember, you don't always need to use emoticons especially when it ends up laughing at your own post.

not saying tires are faulty just trying to save people some cash because i got nail in one tire and a bolt in another one week after i got my z.and i have been told by friends that you should go easy on a new engine.
