Hey guys,

I have an 04 Enthusiast with 20k. I just noticed today that my front tires have the classic "feathering" problem. The insides of the tires are almost bald (I cant believe I didnt discover this until today). Also, there are flat spots on the insides of the tires too. Is that also normal in the feathering description?...

Ive read for about the last 2 hours about this problem just fyi... I did search first. I tried searching for TSB but coulnt really come up with anything. What does it stand for and is there somewhere I can go to see a list of all TSB's for my car?

My car was bought used a 3k miles. The car was bought new just over 2 years ago so it is still under warranty(warranty is 3k right?) How does this work??? What Im trying to ask is can I just go to any Nissan dealership for warranty work..assuming they will look up the VIN to know it is still under warranty?

Thanks in advance.

 

Typical tire feathering looks like this. The high and low pattern on the inside tread is responsible for the growl or washing machine noise.

TSB or Technical Service Bulletin. See: http://www.nissanhelp.com/Bulletins/350Z/
You may be eligible for free alignment and tires. I no longer have the Nissan policy letter.

 

Everything you could possibly what to know about feathering can be found here.

 

Thanks, stud but as previously stated I have searched. I read through that thread for about 3 hours now without being able to come to any real conclusions.
