Actually adjusting the toe supposed to fix the feathering issue in the front .

 

No, fixing toe fixes tire scrubbing, but tires that wear only on the inside is because of camber. No doubt, with your toe adjusted properly, it will still last the same amount of miles (give or take) as tires that are cambered flat, but with too much negative camber your contact patch is minimal and it can actually be unsafe.

 

I think some of the older cars back then esp Imports (Toyota's, Nissan's, and Honda's) were built a little better than today's modern cars. Definitely less electronics and features, which makes them easier to work on and also more reliable.

Nowadays, any modern car that has all these electronic gizmos and features can easily malfunction if you mess something up or what not.

I have heard of horror stories with Nissan's (Frontier trucks, Altima's, etc) having major issues and recalls. Had a friend with a newer Frontier and always had some drivetrain issue although I know she drove it easy (she's a mom). My brother also had terrible reliabiliy on his 05 Altima although I know he doesn't really abuse the car. Same thing with my sister-in-law's 06 Sentra. That thing drives like crap, and the suspension has so many weird noises.

I'm pretty sure I have the OEM 19" Rays on mine. I know they are staggered from the factory, but when I changed my front tires a couple of weeks ago the shop installed 245's up front.

I just bought my G35 last month so I wasn't really aware that the front was supposed to be 225's. Haven't had an issue yet, so we'll see.

Not sure what you meant by that.

Yes get a family sedan or something else if you want better mileage out of your tires.

but 20-30k miles per tire is not bad for me since I only drive less than 10k miles per year. So theoretically I should get 2+years out of each tire if driven normally.

What I meant by comparing sportbike tire replacement, is that I'm used to replacing my tires between 5-10k miles on my motorcycle. (I ride both street and the track). Rear tires usually cost around $120+ depending on brand and tire compound. And this is for a 600cc Supersport.

Do you even know anything about Sportbikes?

 

No he doesn't seem to know much about spot bikes, but since when are rears only $120... Nice rears (not Shitto tires e. g.)?

 

Haha, no it's a reference to the Fast and the Furious Movies, something I like to do because they are so horrible at points that they're great. I understand your comparison.

I've never ridden a sport bike for fear to being a bug on someone's windshield bur own an older CR250R that I ride on the dunes.

 

I'm lowered no camber kits no excessive camber wear

 

The difference between the 19" rays is a mere .5" in width, 2 pounds, and I believe the offsets are slightly different. When I had the rays I ran 245's all around at one point and rotated them on multiple occasions. There is practically no noticeable difference.

 

I usually buy tire sets when they go on sale. I've bought a Pirelli front/rear set for $220 before, and also Michelin PP's for $200/set.

That puts the rear to about $120 give or take. If you buy rear tires by themselves they are usually more expensive ($140 and up) so I buy them in pairs.

Yea, riding motorcycles is definitely a risk. But it can be quite fun.

With a modern sportbike, I can smoke 99% of cars on the road. A car needs to run low 11's and have around 500hp to keep up even with a modern 600cc sportbike.

And I love the F&F movies!

 

Good to know. I might try rotating them after 5k miles and see how they will run.

 

Not excessive wear, that's fixed by toe like you said. But do your tires only wear on the inside? If not, you got lucky. Mine wore on the inside at stock height, although not excessively. Like my tires would still last 30k, but when they were done the outsides were brand new and the insides were bald.

 

Then u flip.

 

The only tires I had before I got a camber kit were side specific asymmetrical. The outside said "outside" so you couldn't flip them. Haha

They were Falken ZIEX. Good tire, but asymmetrical and soft as fug.

 

^ I agree with you on those Falken's. My G35 came with them when I bought and I had the exact same issues, I thought I was just part of an unlucky bunch with the excessive wear

 

Nah, those things are soft as fug. The guy who sold em to me even said "don't expect more than 10k miles on these" (after I paid for them of course). I got 29k out of them tho.
