The recommended pressure is 30 PSI in my stock tires on stock 17's.I run 30 PSI in the summer.A few months ago I hit a pothole (drivers front). Pulling to right.Took it to Nissan & got it aligned.Still, pulling to right slightly.

Took it to Nissan again. Alignment is good, but still pulling to rt

Talked to Service Manger and he said it could be tire.

Took it to Nissan again. Problem is determined that tire pressure is not and was told that the light was on (I know this). Assuming they did nothing once they saw the light on.

OK, so I've been running around 28 PSI cause it's been really cold and tires have been wearing more in the center. Told them that I keep a close check on tire pressure and don't see that that could be it, but will check it..

This afternoon, temp is 43 degrees and tire pressure is 37 PSI in the fronts and 35 and 37 in the rear.......Still pulling.

Have now put all tires at 31 PSI at 43 degrees....

Also, passenger rear is wearing faster than the driver rear, assume this is normal.

And, I do not care about gas mileage, I want even wear (if possible) and better performance.

Suggestions???

Rich is it on your sedan or the coupe. My sedan was ok with the oem tires on and have no issue with the Dunlops. Both of my G's were actually good. They usually wear tires more on the outer edge a little but nothing major.

I think there is a tsb on all Infinitis for pulling.

I keep my tire pressure higher. I leave it around 35-36.

Yeah Caster can do it. But as long as it is same on both side or closer it should not do it. I think it is good if positive and not more than 5 degrees.
