I have 4,000 miles on one Leaf and 3,000 miles on the other. Both cars have front tire wear on the outside edges. There is about 1/32nd less tread on front outside edge on front tires than on back. It is visibly noticeable. When I took the car to the Nissan Dealer, I noticed that the demo car at 4,000 miles had the same wear on the front tire edges.
My LEAF was put on the alignment rack and the car came back as in Spec per Service Manual FSU-28 Oct 2011 revision. (I would not have been in compliant on earlier specification)
Camber L 0.0 Camber Right -0.4 degrees
Caster L 5.0 Caster right 4.9 degrees
Toe L 0.03 Toe Right 0.03 degrees
SAI L 11.6 SAI right 12.2 degrees
While I rotated the tires today, my fear is that at the pace of wear, I may not see 12,000 miles before the outside edges are non-compliant. At this point, there is a 1/32nd difference between the front prior to rotating and the back.
Curious how those with higher mileage are faring.
