So recently I was at a nissan dealer to buy a sentra and they said my 07 G35x is rear wheel based, so in dry conditions pretty much 100% of the power goes to the rear. But from my observation the G is front wheel based because I noticed more wear on the front tires, idk if its cause of tire rotation or not because I bought this car second hand. I know snow mode is 50/50 split, but what about just normal? can someone clarify? thanks

 

Rear man.... its not a ford escort.

 

Oh ok that's good to hear I thought I was just a honda in disguise haha. so the previous owner must have done a tire rotation I guess, cause my front tires have noticeably more wear than my rears

 

The previous owner either didn't rotate enough if theres a huge wear discrepancy between front and back.... Or depending on wear patterns u may need an alignment.

 

ummm from what I can tell the tread difference is around 1mm but its definitely noticeable when you look at the very outside part of the tire. what kind of wear pattern would mean a alignment is needed? thanks

 

Rear tires go way faster on my X than the fronts. Especially the right rear. In general, if you don't see even wear across the tire you may have an alignment issue. On the rears you may see the center third of the tread wearing faster than the outsides, that is normal.
