I went to the Movies the other day and noticed a Coupe with 17s that absolutely zero tread on the rears. Totally and completely bald. Some people are crazy or just stupid. I'm sure that many conservative drivers are not even aware that they need tires until the dealer brings it to their attention. In some cases, our tires look good from the outer tread, but only when we get under and look carefully can we see the wear.

I am not as bad off as I thought. 2 of my 4 18" sedan tires (NCT-5) are not round anymore and need to be replaced, but still have about half the tread left. I am just over 30K. I guess it could be worse. It has really been bothering me that I need to replace my brake rotors and tires at 30K with plenty of 'life' left in both pads and tread.

New to forum and having problems with 05 coupe front tires

i have an 05 coupe and i have just barely over 21.5k on the front tires. i took my car to the local nissan dealership to have the rears replaced and they told me that my front tires are wearing heavily on the inside and they are also choppy.Does anyone else have this problem with the stock 19s on an 05 coupe?

It's not the car you have to blame it on. It's the driver.

I killed my first set in 20k
Now I'm on the second one with 46k on the car and tires are still very much brand new. So it's all about the gasket between the seat and the steering wheel.

they do that all the time. Allows the car to handle better once you go into the turn.

22.5K miles results

The rear tires have word down quite a bit more quicker in the middle of the tires. Could be cause I sometimes give it a bit more gas when taking off causing some tire burn.

Fronts have only a bit of wear on the outside, not the inside as some report here. But at this state, the front tires are humming in need or replacement and in need of a front end alignment.

Still on the same tires for about 3K and then they are gone.

Coupe tires....MESSAGE FOR BOCA

Why wouldn't the dealer install a camber kit vs replacing your tires regularly?

I never hear dealer replacing no tires.

there is no camber kit needed.
If you put camber kit on then G will b like a boat in turns.
