Is the outside wear on your front or rear? I assume it's front, yes get an alignment shop to check it, and get the before+after readings. It can be a combination of camber and toe. I'm interested in what the readings are.

Nvm, just saw your other post, your rear tires having outer wear is odd. Stock 370z has plenty of rear negative camber, and you've been maintaining tire pressure, plus your Z is relatively new...have it checked out and I'm very interested to see the diagnosis

Vs Stock:

Cheaper
Quiet(er)
Long(er) treadlife (Use dependent)
(Better) Heavy rain grip

However, you will sacrifice performance. Initial dry grip when pushing it, and most noticeably cornering. It's really depressing having to break from getting Michelin PSS' to V12's due to cost as a temp replacement. I can't take turns at half the speeds I could with the PSS'. It's sad, but right now I need tread life more than grip. (Even though my front's are still at 70% from buying last summer. If I hadn't done some demo vids, I'd still have the rears on too probably, oh well. )

Definitely, also give your tire pressures a check too to see where they are at.
