Rear Tire Condition

Thanks for the prompt response. Yes, I do understand that I need the alignment done once I swap the new tires on. I already bought two rear Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I just kinda want to get my money worth it with these OEM tires since they're ~$350 a pop. My front ones were measured at 4/32. Should I change them the same time I change the rear ones?

One last thing, do you see the similar wearing pattern on your tires? Meaning the outside wears more than the inside? I have not tracked my car yet, so no aggressive turning from my part at this point.

I took my Z to a large empty parking lot early Saturday morning and got a lot of use out of the parking brake before getting the tires replaced that day I typically wear out the rear tires every 6 months, and the fronts every 12 months. But I often still have 7/32 tread on the front when the rears go. At 4/32, I would recommend that you have the fronts replaced at the same time and always with matching tires.

I do plenty of aggressive driving and casual driving. My tire wear is very even because I have a five year alignment agreement from NTB (for the cost of about 2.5 individual alignments). I get my car aligned about every quarter, although I'm behind this year. Thanks for reminding me

Strangely, Nissan Maintenance Plus Gold package doesn't even cover alignment, which I consider a rip-off. They charged me for $850 up front for 6 oil changes, 2 in-cabin filter, 1 or 2 rotation I forgot (which is useless for Z anyway). I can't even get a transmission oil done for free. Ridiculous!! What's that NTB alignment package you're talking about?
