Does anyone know the exact problem under the 2003-2004 350Z tire wear problems?

I heard that the front suspension and toe angle may be the problem. In fact, once adjust (toe angle), the tire wear keeps showing off.

So I was wondering if any person had technical information (about an unproper design etc.)that could explain this malfunction.

Thanks

I have a 2004 350z and I've had problems with tire wear since I purchased the car.The dealership where I purchased the car failed to tell me about an unlimited extended warranty on alignment and tires for my car, issued in august 2005 until september 2007.I have hired a lawyer to try and get reimbursed for the cost of the tires I purchased.The dealership tried to charge me for an alignment that was under warranty.I suggest anyone with the same problems do the same as me to make Nissan make it right for ther customers.When you spend that kind of money for a car you expect it to be a good quality product.

I have a 2004 coupe touring with one problem after the other. I had a new tranny at 16k. Had it at the dealer 3 times for front end clunk. TSB performed each time.(upper link bolts) Driver door window regulator replaced. and the TSB on the rear end clack at low speeds. And last but not least the tire wear. Current tires have 8k and are shot. This is the third set of tires for the car. I have tried to get Nissan North America to replace my tires and fix the alingment on the car. Nissan refuses to do the repair. They told me the service bulletin for the tire wear was over in oct of 2005. Now it is up to me to replace the tires and pay for the alingment if i want it done. I'm so fed up with Nissan and this problem it's sick. they refuse to repair a known problem with the car. I have not yet seen until your thread about them extending the warranty until 2007. They told me it was over a year ago. The car only has 24k on it now and they told me that the alingment wouldn't be covered either. I'm at the point of replacing the tires myself just so I can get my Z sold. I filed complaints with the Ohio attorney general and BBB. I don't see why the consumer should have to pay for Nissan's fatal flaw with the car. It's a shame I finally get my dream car and it's a turd. If the lawyer route worked with you i might try it myself. Did you have to sue the dealer or Nissan?

Until then I will blast Nissan as much as I can. Their customer service is a joke!!!!!!
