Hi,
Would like your advice on this. A friend of mine has a (non-911), which is eating through tyres like you wouldn't believe....so hoping it's still relevant to this forum!
The symptoms are completely even wear across the rear tyre, but it goes from brand new to on the legal limit in no more than 4,500 miles.
Since this has happened to 3 rear tyres in a row, he's been driving it very cautiously, not wheel spinning, careful acceleration from the lights, no big one round the roundabout and no track days.
It has the engine at the front, so the rear tyres don't have a weight on them like the 996 (but it is rear wheel drive).
They are Pirelli tyres, which are OEM specification. The manufacturer claims you should get between 15-20k miles under normal driving.
They are suggested a geo set up....but I'm wondering if this is really the cause. Surely a geo would only be appropriate if you are getting uneven tyre wear. This is litterally like someone has just been simply wheel spinning the wheels off the lights (which is not the case).
The car is an 04, with 30k miles.
Does anyone agree that a geo is required, eve if the wear is completely even?
PS The fronts are still like new and have covered about 10k miles now.
PPS The car is a Nissan 350Z
