Default Front tire feathering/cupping is not a problem with my 350Z!11

Hey guys and gals,

Need some help here to help me decide to buy a 350Z or not!

Please post up here if you have NEVER had a problem with front tire feathering or cupping , by indicating your model year and mileage. Thanks a lot! I am trying to see if there is sorta a silent majority of owners who don't have the problem. I have read lots of reviews where it is a problem, but sometimes you only hear about the squeaky wheel from the vocal few. Thanks again!

No problem what so ever with the NISMO suspension.

I heard the revised suspension (04 1/2 onwards) doesn't seem to be affected.

Hope this helps.

I bought my 2003 track model (Aug 02 production date) used, and have never noticed unusual feathering. I have 36k miles on it now.

This thread is interesting, but certainly not statically valid. Correct?

You're absolutely right, it is not a statistically valid survey. I just wanted to hear from as many folks as possible, who cared to share, that they have not had any problem with their front tires feathering or cupping. For a guy considering getting a 350Z, who has seen many comments by folks who have the issue, I just want to know there are folks who haven't had the problem. It gives me encouragement to continue to consider getting the 350Z.
