Not unusual on a sports/sporty car.

That is not "just how this car is." You are under warranty, make 'em fix it. If they give you any static, contact Nissan or go to another dealer.

It's a light car with wide, soft tires. Not really made for high-speed driving on wet or icy roads. If you want to drive in the snow/ice, get a 4WD truck.

The fact that the tires cannot be rotate doesn't have as much to do with tire longevity as does the fact that the factory supplies tires with a fairly soft compound - just like most sports cars have.

It's a sports car; what did you expect? The 370Z is not what I would call a Practical Vehicle - it's a bit on the expensive side to purchase, maintenance ain't cheap, and there's not a back seat.

Yep.
