2003 JDM Import - tyre feathering?

I am hopefully getting an 03 350z next week. Only 16k on the clock (has been off the road for the last 4 years since being imported) and was just wondering whether this infamous issue of tyre feathering/wear is something that affects the Japanese 350z's since most of the complaints of it seem to be coming from the US... And if so, since it is now 8 years on, was there a definite fix for it? Since everything I've read has simply been speculative suggestions to change tyre manufacturer and adjust wheel alignment.

Cheers

On the Bridgestones my JDM car came with I had this problem - and associated shuddering around 60mph. I hated those tyres.

 

Once I changed to new (Goodyear Eagle F1) tyres and was careful to check pressures regularly I had no more issues.

 

Could be that the previous owner ran the tyres underinflated or that the "squarer" profile of the Goodyear's holds up better.

 

cheers
