New owner of a 2003 G35....Black Coupe Auto

Well I went with the black one...had about a 30 mile drive home and it drives great.....one thing I did notice was some road noise so I looked at the tires and the two front tires (more the driver side) are worn on the inside....cannot see mesh or anything yet...so I guess I will need 2 tires and an Alignment right?

I can get some pics tomorrow and anything I should do or know? Gonna do a oil change tomorrow with mobil one.

Also on the way home I was going 70MPH and the RPM's were at 2500....is that normal? My previous car going 70 was at 2000 rpm. (03 grand prix gtp)

congrats on the new car.
2500 rpms at that speed is normal in our cars.
camber wear on our tires is also common depending on suspension set up. just keep track of the wear

camber wear is normal… unless you have a camber kit, i dont think it is possible to eliminate the camber.

most likely cause my rear tires are pretty new and those dont make any road noise.

If you're going to be swapping out the tires you should check the brakes as well. When I bought my G last year one of the rear pads went out after less then 2 weeks of very little driving. Pads cost very little compared to a whole new rotor/Caliper setup from damage.
