some of them were aligned poorly from the factory.
to fix this, nissan replaced the front tires, and re aligned the cars for free.

the fact that they come with high performance tires might have something to do with the tires wearing quickly also.

the feathering creates alot of roaring in the cabin, a large portion of 03's experienced it, a few 04's, nissan usually replaces the front tires and adjusts the front suspension to fix the problem, somtimes it works, sometimes it doesnt

They are only replacing the tires on the 03s.....Nissan is saying that it's not a issue on 04s, and therefore won't replace/repair anything for free since they won't admit to the problem with the 04s.

seems like the C5 vettes have the same issue. no matter how many times they try they cannot align the wheels perfectly.

what would cause these cars to be like this? is this just due to some extra camber or something? Tire type?
