I need to say hi to Boomer:
Not a fix but I have info. from experience (and lots of it). 12 miles to 42K. 5 alignments and 2 new sets of front tires and 2 swaps of front tires. RE040's allow the Z to dance on her toes. I now have Potenza S-03 Pole Position. She still dances but on the front ball of her feet (at least she's not flat footed). The S03's are very good but not great. (I was surprised I could tell the diffrence)14K miles on these tires and no tire feathering (knock on wood). The RE040's may be a large contributing factor to the tire feathering issue.

Deafening tire noise at 17,000km or 10,500mi. Took it in to Windsor Nissan (Ontario, Canada) for tech to check out. He confirmed feathering and tsb for alignment and new set of front tires. They have RE040's in stock but they asked me if I wanted to wait for the new replacement tires coming out in June or July. Has anyone heard about this? If so does anyone know what the replacements are?

BTW, has anyone managed to get all 4 tires replaced (front and back) with this tsb? I tried to pump them for all 4 but they gave me Nissan's 800 number to take it up with them.
