So I purchased this car at 30k miles from my brother and now it currently has 35k. He had the wheels and tires put on by discount tire. Not sure what the specs of the wheels are but the tires are Kumho 275/30/20. Anyone know what could of caused this problem? It has never been wrecked or any curb incidents.

Here is the right rear wheel:







And here is the left rear wheel (it seems as if the balancing weight was the only thing that got it)

It looks like you are going to be needing some new tires for sure and maybe some new wheels. It looks like the tires are pretty worn out. I suspect something hit the inside of the wheels pretty hard.

looks like your camber is off

The wheels are fine. I inspected them. It seems like the tires got most of it. I was thinking the camber was rubbing against it but im not sure. my 35k warranty just ran out so hopefully not

Ive never drifted before but I have had to brake hard in a few instances when people in front of me just slam on their brakes. Other than that nothing extraordinary just normal driving and a few fast accelerations here and there. No burnouts or drifting.

i would say its a problem with the bead. if you look at the second and third pictures it looks like the bead wasnt seated right. discount did this to a set of my slicks on my dragster, except with a taller softer sidewall, it was much more eggagerated(?). i would take it back to discount and say WTF?!

In your tire. They have belts that help them hold their shape and integrity.

Whatever it is, those don't look safe at all and should be replaced ASAP. We don't need a my350z member dying.

Ive put my stock wheels and tires back on. Im glad I took them off. Thank you everyone for your input.

kinda hard to take it back to them at this point I'd say...look at what that rear tire looks like - it's shot either way

Is it just me or do I see the alternating dark/light/dark/light tire feathering on the inside?

It could just be the way the dirt settled, but the last pic makes me wonder.

I'd take them back. I had a similar issue with a Bfg mud terrain tire and they replaced it at no charge.

Have them use lead tape with the wheel weights. Not the clip on. And, yes they will stay on. I have two sets of race Fiske wheels and the weights are always lead tape on and never have come off during any session on the track.

Also, they may just give you a discount on the replacement.

oh snap, better get some news tires soon

Zs are known for having camber/caster problems. Have it aligned/tires balan-
ced--after inverting them, each in its own wheel. Good luck!

Looks like someone needs new wheels and tires.
