They are different tires I believe...

Right rear is the first one to spin. Take it easy champion

Check your tire pressure often too.

why don't you post a link to the recall or explain it so the rest of us do not have to reasearch the topic before responding.

Yes, they are worth it. MY G with 8k miles is already showing signs of baldness. I got the G with the sports suspension and I guess Infiniti failed and went cheap on it. They installed the lowering springs, yet kept the same camber as the non-sports suspension.

My tires are tilted pretty bad on the rear. Looks like I need a camber kit.

Infinti will be hearing from me if I need to replace my tires at 10-12k.

EVERYONE: File your complaint here:

I complained about the following:
1) Pre-mature thread wear
2) Popping/cracking noises
3) Bad clutch noises
4) Rear axle bolt getting loose (twice)

LOL, If my tires lasted 10-12k miles I'd be so happy!
You are so wasting your time- I couldn't believe they gave us free brakes for 3 years...

I had my back right go after 5k miles, NO tread. Coulda sworn that it was from infiniti over inflating it, but we have soft tires, and I drive my car harder than the average granny (this was pre-turbo too) and they will just laugh at you.

Rightfully so, I buy tires with more tread and just a bit less traction, even with F/I I'm a-okay with that.

stfu. I granny drive all day. I have 8k miles I its almost bald. This isn't normal.

If you look at your wheels, you can see the camber is way off. This isn't normal. Tires wearing out from the inside, isn't normal.

You can be happy all you want wasting 1200 for tires. Take a good look at the 350z forums, seems like they aren't happy replacing tires at 12000 miles.

And theres a site that agrees with them and it looks like something is being done. So, when the G35 gets the same "recall" and gets a new camber kit for free and free alignment, your biotch azz better stay home and be happy at replacing your tires ever 8k miles.

And soft tires is no excuse, my cousin's STI with the "soft tires" has about 20k and his tires still looks good. Not only that, he can also smoke our fat G's with no problem.

this is a gay ayse- thread. you bought a sports coupe. low mileage on tires is expected. Get off a couple hundred $$$ and buy some tires.... OR go buy something else if you dont like it.

...I'm tired of hearing of people crying about only getting 10-15k off a set of tires, especially when the car holds a good amount of camber (stock) to help your ayse corner better.

....cheap ayse

Did you ever get an alignment done? This seems more like an alingment issue than a manufacturer defect. After I changed my rims and tires, I noticed my left side rear wasn't as flush as my right side. I took it in and it turned out everything was pretty good except that left rear. It had -1.3 camber and this was on the stock suspension. I know I would not have noticed with my stock setup, once I changed it out for a set of wheels that lined up with the fenders I could see something was off.
