Around 18,500.

The left rear tire had about 5,000 on it when I had to replace it because of a puncture.

What I'm trying to get at is: is it safer to run on mixed tires with good tread or matched tires with low tread?

probably neither, especially on a car like the z. if you have to, at least mix something that is closer in grip level

i had the same problem the OP had.....exact same one. ran the RE-11's for 800mi. and the car never felt fine. i would be on the freeway with my rear going everywhere. thought it was alignment and had it checked out and nothing....guys thought i was smoking till they drove it. went ahead and bought some hankooks all around and problem was solved.


didn't read through all the pages but this post shows why this guy thinks he knows all 370Z....

Which struts will adjust back to stock ride height??!!!

"work for nissan, so baciscally i can do an alignment everyday if i want lol."

18500 hankooks put on

5k later left tire blows/replaced

23500mi new left rear goes on

30k right rear tire blows on massive rail spike in my driveway so my math

est.
6500ish on left rear
350ish on right rear.

i was trying to figure out how far off they are. Its hardly noticeable when i measured tread depth by using the highly accurate penny method

Have your valves, pistons, etc also sat in the same position all winter?

Battery terminals connected?

Gas tank full and with added stabilizer?
