At 12,000 miles, the front fires aren't wearing well. Yes, they were rotated at 7500 miles:

+1 - do both the fronts look the same? What about the rears?stanley said:Tony, it looks like there may be a front end alignment problem
TonyWilliams said:The rears look fine. Both fronts are the same. I might take the tires off and reverse them.
I corner as fast and smoothly as I can, to require the least amount of braking and acceleration out of the turns. But, I'm not driving differently than the first 7500 miles, when the rear tires were on the front.

AS noted in thread above, my LEAF with 4000 miles and my other LEAF with 3,000 miles and the dealer demo with 4,000 miles had the same outside wear issue. They put it on the alignment rack and the specs were dead on.
I have a feeling this isn't an isolated incident.
DarkStar said:For the ones with wear issues, what PSI are you running? Tony's picture seems to indicate an under-inflated situation, but only if the inside edge matches the outside edge (can't tell from the picture).
I've been running 44 PSI (checking almost every week) for the last 13,200 miles and my tires are wearing perfectly even across the whole tread (rotated at 8,000 miles).
Before re-inflating to your prefered pressure, did you check if/what they actually set it to ? ( Paperwork is paperwork; but not an indicator of reality )TickTock said:When I took my Leaf in for the 7500 mile rotation my tires were inflated to 40psi. When I got the car back, the paperwork had written very large across it "Set Tire Pressure to 36psi!!!". 36psi was underlined three times. LOL. I promptly reinflated to 40.
I'm way late to the thread, but as a tangent, I'd imagine that junkyards near SD would carry spares because some cars are opened up or torn apart because they're found to be smuggling drugs in all sorts of areas and cavities.TonyWilliams said:For some reason, I can't send this without an error message, but for those who want to know where to find Altima spare wheels in San Diego, drive the LEAF down to the Mexican border. Be sure and bring something to protect the interior of your car from a dirty spare tire.
From a google maps search, "junk yards near Otay Mesa", you'll get lots of choices.
Happy hunting. Don't pay too much and RAISE the prices for everybody behind you !!!!

I had a flat fixed and I just do not trust the tire guys to look it up.
