Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2003 nissan 350z sports car has a front suspension problem that causes extreme inner tread tire wear in very short periods of time, ie, less than 5000 miles. the problem is pervasive in all 03 models as indicated on the various internet chat rooms. nissan is aware of the problem and has provided a front end alignment and left to right/right to left tire rotation and/or tire replacement - neither of which cure the problem (indicative of an engineering design problem). the extreme tire wear is evident at approximately 4-5000 miles. nissan appears to not have found a solution to this problem. replacing the front tires at unreasonable 5000 mile intervals is required to prevent an extreme road hazard. *ak
