I have a 2006 G35 Coupe (STS). I have 115,000 so im runnning about 24,000 miles a year. i have a slight drop with the 350Z Teins.

ive replaced my tires ever single year.
i am about to get my 5th set of tires. Currently i have the 35 series setup.

the last two times i installed my tires i had a (top of the line, in terms of shops) Alignment done where the guy told me i dont need a camber kit that he would get me in specs.

on this setup, the rears are going bald in the middle and the fronts are bald on the inner tread.

should i go ahead and get the CAMBER kit?
should i buy better tires?

because i go thru so many tires, the last 3 sets have been the NANKANG NS-ii


thanks for any and all help!

 

yes, get a camber kit. even stock spec coupes have been known to wear unevenly.

 

any suggestions?
obviously with 24,000 miles a year im a DAILY driver so im looking for that more that sporty or race quality.

thanks!

 

24k a year isn't too bad for some cheap tires.

They will last forever.

 

What tire pressure are you running, should not be more than 37 PSI! Tires don't wear out in the center unless you're running to much pressure. If you're wearing out the inside quarters up front you may also have other suspension issues since you have high mileage on your G. The camber kit will help but you need to make sure you don't have other issues.

Where are you getting your alignment I tried several shops for an alignment and it seems no one could align the car right. I kept going through tires until I went to the dealer for an alignment, and I had no more wear problems since, and I notice my dealer here in Ga was only five dollars more than the other shops so for now on I'll get my alignment done there. My car is a 04 sedan sport model with Tein H techs.

 

i think my front was 36 and rear was 38...
i have tokico Blues and tein H's and i think the suspension is ok.
this is the first set that went bald in the middle. usually it is always the inner tread.

so if i get a good camber kit and some better tires as far as TREADWARE goes that will make a difference?
most ppl say that all G's & z's have this issues no matter what.

 

oh and any recommendations on a camber kit?

 

Are they directional?

 

yes get a camber kit if u want ti stop buying tires all the time.. I got a rear kit gonna be a front kit soon.. so far i have not had any tire wear problems knock on wood

 

Also get tires that are asymmetrical so you can swap at least the fronts side to side.

what tires have you been buying? The oem RE050s are good peformers but have terrible UTOG

 

SPC and SPL camber kits will give you positive adjustment.

 

24k is pretty good for tires, the most you going to get is close to 30k but I doubt you'll go more, even with a camber kit.

What you can do is get a symmetrical tread tires and flip them half way though the life of a tire.

As far as the rear, your tire wear suggests high air pressure.

 

thanks guys...

now without being FLAMMED... can anyone tell me why i cant just put 245/35/19 on all four wheels?
