Default Advice On Wandering Roadster

I'm new to the board so forgive me if this has been answered: I have an '06 Touring Roadster, 6spd that pulls and wanders in every direction-braking, lane changes, acceleration-not fun! We live in Panama City, Fl and the car was purchased new and has never been touched. She has 14k miles and sits on stock 18's with factory Bridgestones that show even and surprisingly little wear. When driven on new or fresh pavement it tracks and brakes straight. I have tried different air pressure settings and have had the alignment checked by the dealer-it was within spec. Anyone experience this and any sugestions on a fix? I hope a tire change will make all the difference. Thanks in advance for your help, Clay

Welcome.

If there is no alignment of mechanical problem, then there may be no solution. Performance sports cars are designed to give the driver feedback. And the 350Z does. Generally, 350Z drivers prefer performance tires, and performance tires are and should be sensitive to surface conditions.

Different tires will make the car behave differently, but overall, its still a sports car.
