No not from burn-outs! lol. I have a 05' G35 4-dr 107,000 mi on her now. When I replaced my 1st set of tires I noticed that the right rear tire was heavily worn (almost smooth) and the other three were just worn or almost out of thread. So I put new ties on and now I noticed that the right rear tire is wearing again. I still have 80% tread left on the other 3- tires but this one is down to like 50% I have always noticed that this car seemed more twitchy (lane changing) than my 04' I had. What do you think??

I would assume you have a toe issue. When was the last alignment and did they give you the final specs to see what it was when they finished?

I had a 4-wheel alignment done when I installed a new set of Michelin PSS tires about 1.5 yrs ago. Last time I had my car in for service a couple thousand miles ago, Infiniti measured all tires at 7/32 EXCEPT the right rear which was at 5/32. My car is definitely aligned properly, so I'm not inclined to believe that a toe setting (at least not by itself) is the culprit. An anecdotal theory might be the uneven power distribution of the rear differential, but again, that's just conjecture.

Could still be toe. My car is within alignment specs and the toe for each rear wheel is somewhat different.
