It's not really loud at first, but it gets BAD. If you're feathering, your tires will literally roar when you slow to a stop, especially when it's further along.

People are probably having a hard time remembering when she was still hot!

I had my tires replaced at 6500. I'm only at 8000 now, but I'll be holding my breath knowing that the problem will probably return.

Maybe Nissan should just publish this new maintance schedule:

3,000 - Change engine oil and filter
6,000 - Change front tires
9,000 - Change engine oil and filter
12,000 - Change front tires
and so on and so on....

Ok, enough of this crap... lets honestly HONESTLY meet infront of NNA headquarters and have a protest. Large signs, blow horns, bonfires, chants, hotdogs, the works!

I am not s$##ing. Let's do this. Make them hear us one way or another.



p.s. I can't believe thats christina aguilera!!! Maybe thats why I'm so pissed off?

This really is insane. As much as I truly love my Z, I have debated selling it before word of this issue hits the user car buying guides.

I don't even have my Z yet but I'm already thinking of selling it too or getting all the paperwork and facts ready to try my hand at the lemon law.

I do not want the dang cupping to happen to my car! Grrr!!!

On another note, I called my dealer and they said there was a two week hault or delay in Nissan accepting orders. Seems that they slowed down or stopped the production line for some reason... he said it might be because of some changes they are making or because they discovered a new flaw or something. Anyone hear something similar from their dealer?

I liked her much better in her "freaky" blonde and thin stage.

man this really sucks. I have 7000 miles on my tires and they are being replaced by the dealer. It sounds like no matter what kind of tires you use on this car there is going to be a problem.

I also have the pulling to the right problem, tsb ntb03046. I'm trying to get this fixed before putting the new tires on, but from what i have read, this fix does not always work either.

this is a dumb question, but i have to ask. Is the tire feathering issue just on the front tires, or rear tires also? sorry for my ignorance.

Front, but, there *might* have been a person who said their rear tires started to cup as well.
