yes those are the tires that i have.

but here is the thing, which is why i don't really trust my mechanic, nissian dealer told me yesterday that my tires have an even tread wear. sorry, i forgot to mention this.

but here is also another thing. the mechanic that i took my car to said that since my tire pressure was like 40psi at the time of check it, it MAY have affect the tread wear. he brought it back down to 35psi on all 4 tires and told me that the steering wheel will be straight after 1 or 2 months of driving. which i do not understand. but since he didn't really see a problem, he told me not to worry and that HIS OWN car had the same problem. i don't know if that was pure BS or not but who knows.

my steering wheel is, say if it was centered, it would be at 12:00 but it's like 12:03. minor but it's annoying as hell.

That would be funny if it weren't so dumb. What is he talking about - "It will get better"? I'd write Nissan just to tell them he told you that. It sure as hell wouldn't have anything to do with tire pressure, and it definitely won't magically get better. That whole thing about "yeah, my own car is like that" is probably something he says any time someone has a problem he doesn't feel like fixing.

it's just going to have to be a long wait for the nissan dealers to update their system. i didn't even get a call today. this better not be some f-ed up lemon since i didn't do crap to the car.
