Unhappy Rear Tire Wear...?

Gang,

I have 14K+ on my 09 Sport/Touring and I have rotated the front and rear tires every 6K and now the rears are just about wore out. The wear pattern is even across the entire surface of the tire. The fronts are in great shape and have many more miles left on them. I had a new 03 350 that just ate front tires. Now it appears that the 370 may eat rears. Anyone else having this problem...? BTW, I am 68 years old and don't spin the rears for my girlfriend anymore like I did with my 409 years ago.

I think it's the high performance Bridgestone Potenza tires. Many members only got about 10,000 miles on them. I am lucky enough to get about 16K (I have about 2 weeks of life left in them ). You can pick up OEM tire sets pretty cheap for the parts section. I got a full set here on the forum from member Chris (thanks for the deal).

I think it's normal for your rear tires to last as long as yours did. My rear tires on my 350z lasted about 20k. Your 350z front tires wore out quicker because of the feathering problem that earlier 350z had. I would get all season tires with a longer treadwear rating if you want your tires to last a bit longer than oem.

It's not really a problem, just expect to get between 15 and 20K. My rears got eaten after 17K. Bit the bullet, and replaced all 4 with RE-11's.

Like with 350 (I had one), Nissan put extrememly soft tires on the car to show off the performance. Of course for those of us that actually drive our cars, these tires are pretty expensive.
I plan on putting on something with longer tread rating.
Oh. And I for one don't believe you don't bark 'em!

Don't really need to "bark" the tires if one owns a "D Altered" Drag Car. As my daddy use to say "don't race what you drive"

Unmount and remount on the other wheel as long as the tire you are rotating isn't outside specific. Obviously you can't go front to rear.

If I recall correctly, the RE050a are asymmetrical, meaning they have inside/outside

I got about 18k on my rear tires. they have uneven wear, the inside is wearing out so much quicker, it's stock suspension on stock 18". the two rear tires have the same wear.
The fronts are still good, and they look like the outside of the rear tires. do you think the camber on my rear tires is out of wack? I didn't think stock setting would make the rear tires wear out unevenly.

Umm this thread makes me feel a little better. I just passed 17,000km (10,500 miles)and think I'm about half way through my tires tread life! I'm just hoping to get around 30,000km (20,000 miles) out of my stocks.

We are all living on threads of hope, trying to weave a basket. My Potenzas (rears) were down to < 2/32" at 16,500 miles.
