Any 05 19" coupes NOT experiencing inner front wear?

So i've been reading around and from the sounds of it the inner front wear is pretty common on our cars due to the camber.

However, i've also read some people who say they have had even wear on their fronts. I've already tried the dealer and like most people have found they've just shot me down and told me it was normal...

well at 300 bucks a tire... normal isn't good. I think my fronts could outlast the backs by a good 10K if it were not for the inner wear..

So i'm just wondering if there are some people with 05 coupes with the 19"s that have even wear on the front tires over a good number of miles?

Switched mine out at 18k miles with even wear across the tire. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

Did the fronts still have some meat at 18K?

I'm at 19K now, i bet i could do another 10K in front if it weren't for the insides.

I traded my 05 coupe in on an 07 sedan, BUT I got about 23,500 on the fronts til I blew one and learned about the uneven tire wear... oops. They were both to the steel on the insides! I guess I should have gotten on G35driver.com sooner!

No issues so far, but then again I only have 10K on car and I run a summer and winter setup. Car is lowered on 350Z H-Techs and had it aligned @ dealer with no worries. We'll see what happens with more miles.

Keep your cambers aligned [frequently] to the exact midpoint of the oem range! Don't accept an alignment that is JUST inside spec.

mine are really bad and i am on my second set of tires, the first set lasted 10k miles cuz i drove like an idiot, but this set is at 20k miles now. I know i need to replace my rears but i think i need to replace the fronts also because of the awful humming noise at highway speeds. This is all caused by the inner tire wear, it rly can be annoying.
