Default OEM 18" Tire tread wear

I've posted to the Forum about things like wheel locks and spare tires. Spine tingling as they were, I thought I'd move up from my usual level of excitement, and talk about tire tread depth.

2010 370Z Roadster

Stock 18" Bridgestone OEM's

4,750 miles

Tire pressure kept at 38 PSI

Some spirited driving, but mostly just driving around.

Both front tires were, from the inner side out; 9/32, 9/32, 9/32, 6/32.
Both rear tires were, from the inner side out; 9/32, 7/32, 7/32, 6/32.

Looks like both front and rear are wearing a bit more on the outer sides, and maybe the rears could use a slight drop in air pressure.

Don't know if that's Nissan's recommended "best handling/performance" camber, or if I need an alignment.

Just though I'd pass this along so anyone who gives a s--t has something for comparison.

They are a 10-15K miles tire, nothing you can do

I'm not worried, I expected to get around the 12K mark, but thanks for the heads up. As I said, just thought I'd post the findings to the Forum.

I am curious about the camber though. If that's what Nissan says is the best for the Z, then so be it. But if not, then I'll remember that when I buy some better tires.

Nissan made camber not adjustable on the Z, it sucks. You might want to check your toe

did not know that. Interesting point, thanks. Gives me something else to research about the Z. If I do anything about it, I'll be sure to post the results.

The only thing you can do is replace the control arm (not cheap)
