Tire wear will be normal with your alignment set to the suggested specs with non-agressive driving. Doing brake stands, dumping the clutch, racing, or any other type of agressive driving will cause agressive wear on the parts. It's possible people with abnormal tire wear are not within specs from new. Most people don't bother to do an alignment on a new car....

I wasn't looking to fault the vehicle, just trying to see if some of the common 'characteristics' such as neg camber or synchros going bad were a common characteristic of the 370z. When I got my G; I knew neg camber would be an issue unless you looked to get camber kits (my attitude was the car was designed for this so it could improve the handling) but with that; came premature tire wear so I knew that going in. Will common characteristics such as racing and pushing the car constantly cause things such as clutches, tires and even the trans to wear out faster - sure; I agree with that so I'm not saying a lot of issues aren't caused by 'user error' but I don't think it's wrong to see if there are 'common' issues with the new Z.

So hopefully what I was asking wasn't taken the wrong way is all.

for anyone that doesn't have the heated mirrors you can do this fairly cheap.

Mirror Glass Plus: Universal Heat Grids

I'm sure you can find cheaper, I am actually looking for a place that will have heated and dimming. Found tons of switches on ebay as well for heated seats or even folding mirrors with the heat function from maxima's etc or infiniti's.
