You're not going to find much sympathy here. Yes, the Z comes with staggered tires. Yes, the Z eats up tires. If that's a problem, then it's your problem for not doing your research beforehand.

In a 12-15 month period, I typically find myself buying a full set of new tires as well as an intermediate set of rear tires as they wear a lot faster than the fronts. It just comes with the sports car territory. I considered running some rear wheels up front for a square set up that would allow me to rotate tires, but I ended up selling that extra set of wheels before ever doing it.


As for the window maintenance item, get it looked at by a dealer (or qualified mechanic). Especially if it's under warranty. If the idiot dealer excuse is that you're not supposed to drive it cold weather, then tell him to pull his head out of his a$$ and go find another dealer that will actually fix the problem. There's a guy in Canada that drives his Z year round and has over 220K miles on it

Hello Falconfixer, SouthArk370Z and Jarblue:

Not my first rodeo with sports cars (I've owned convertible sports cars all my life)....but this is my first one with different size tires...I do have another car and also own a motorcycle which I drive in the cold but not in the snow with no problems...I just love driving the 370Z.

The dealer stated he did fix the window problem...so far no problems...but it's been a little warm here the last few days..above freezing...but next week snow is coming....so will see if the windows work properly....if not will try another Nissan dealer.

Thanks for your candid responses...I appreciate your feedback!

Karen-2016Z
