I'm at 19k miles, all 4 tires need to be replaced. Especially the 2 fronts, both inner tread are gone.

The feathering issue has something to do with it, I guess; if your beaZt doesn't suffer from it, I suppose they'll last a lot. Mine are nearly gone at 16,OOOk; they still have some meat to them, but I'm getting some new Regattas (Good Year).

5,000 here for my rear Potenza's. Down to 3/32nd and am changing them out soon. Both Bridgestone and Nissan will not deal with me. I am not a "Spirited" driver. Anyone know if there is any relief from either Bridgestone or Nissan in getting the rears replaced under some type of warranty?

wtf?

I pulled my stockers off with 21k miles. Rears had 4/32 thread left and fronts had 6/32.

If you don't know spriited driving, then what kind of driving do you do? You buy the car new? If used, were the tires new or used? something doesn't make sense.

If you drive “normally” (and this is a very subjective statement), you can expect your rear OEM tires to last at least 20K miles, but never past 30K miles.

Mileage on the front tires is a wiggly issue when you include the front tire featuring problem (which is solved for any Z). If you do experience tire-feathering (and no one has this problem now if they follow Nissan’s solution for this), your fronts will be worn out at 20K miles, but go farther if your alignment is correct.
