Default Need a show of hands here please....

I have been following the threads on the other forums regarding tire wear ('feathering', 'cupping', etc.). While there is some discussion about new suspension components for 2004, to me it isn't clear whether NNA has fully corrected this problem.

I am interested to see if any current ZR owners specifically have experienced this tire wear issue and if so, how many miles has it taken to reveal itself. I really hope there are 100 responses that say "I've got 8000 miles on mine and have had alignment and tire wear checked and everything looks good!"

Thanks for your participation in this poll...

The Rat's Z - Wow! 11 Months on a Roadster?! You must have gotten one of the very first ones! What's the manufacture date on it?

I had about 3,000 miles on my stock 17" tires and wheels before changing them out for 18". No abnormal wear.
