Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2003 nissan 350z has an extremely dangerous pattern of tire wear. the inside of the front tires wears rapidly - by 6000 miles it is nearly smooth. vehicle lost control several times due to this problem, resulting in many near-accidents. visited dealer who swapped tires from side to side but issue recurred. first noticed at 4000 miles and recurred at 6000 miles. very unsafe in my opinion. would not recommend this vehicle and am frustrated by nissan's dilly-dallying tactics extended towards the 80% of z drivers that have this problem. *jb
