The shoulder is that part of the tire at the edge of the tread as it makes transition to the sidewall.

 

Turn your wheel all the way right or left and look at the inside of the tire and that will tell you what the note told you.

 

The front inside tire wear has a very good chance of being caused by worn out compression rod bushings. This is a known issue, maybe more prevalent in '03-'04 model G's and 350Z's.

 

You do need to investigate the metal-on-metal noise, though.

 

Kumho Ecsta Platinum LX. Treadwear rating of 600.

 

I have Kelly Instinct ZR tires on mine. They are all season Z rated tires and they grip like hell with a 400 Treadwear rating. And you cant hear em. I have 12000 on them and barely any sign of wear.

 

my tires wore in the exact same spot you are describing, its because of the cambre of the tires. they will wear on the inside first!!...just my experience.....oops front tires

 

^^ Same thing here. Just replaced my fronts last summer, car had maybe 26,000 on it.

Good cheaper all season tire with higher treadwear/good traction and is quiet: Yokohama Avid EnVigor

 

do you have 18s or 19s?

 

potenza's ATW

 

I wish I could get my tires to last 20k miles... These cars have a fair amount of camber stock in the front and tend to wear the inside of tires faster then other cars. Just look for a tire with a higher tread wear. The passenger side tends to wear more here due to the roads being uneven and usually sloping off to the shoulder.

Nexen N3000 tires are ok if you are just looking for a daily driver tire that can handle ok and cost very little. Nexen makes other tires as well that might be more AS oriented.

I personally wouldn't run an all season tire on your car.

I run summer tires (RE01r/hrtzII and some others depending on the deals I get but usually have a set of r comps and harder daily tires kicking around(two sets of wheels)) and for winter/cold weather I run a snow tire (gislaved nordfrost 5) JIC I take my car out instead of the truck. G35's don't work in snow without snow tires!

An all season tire will hurt the handling of the car and really doesn't do all that much in snow,rain,bad conditions over a regular performance tire. I ran a set of yokohama avid h4s (all season) that someone gave me and I found I would rather drive in the snow/rain on my re01r's (not that I would in snow).

 

I have the 19's

I'm looking at either the Continental DWS because they're all season, or the Hankook's because of the great reviews. The Hankooks are about $60 cheaper AND a $60MIR.

Also, the tire is worn BAD on the inside. I need to find a good deal somehow

 

Also, I'm going a little cheaper on an expensive car because of the economy. I still have the car and can afford it, but I'm still trying to get by...

If I don't have to drop $1000 for tires and can get a good deal for 'em, I'd be very happy!

 

These are the Continental DWS I'd like to grab:

I used to have Continentals on my Accord and they were great tires

 

Im a big fan of Tire Rack but this last time I went to Discount Tire Direct and i saved 200 on my BFG's. DWS are a great tire from what Ive heard.
