picked up my brand new stx v6 last week. As soon as I got on the freeway I had a bad vibration from 85kmh, had my wheels balanced as soon as I could, I have access to a balancer, all 4 tyres had high spots on them, went back to Nissan they put on a set from their loan ute, went for a drive vibration gone, dealer got in touch with Goodyear, they checked tyres out and are replacing all 4 tyres tommorrow

My response
I'm in the industry and deal with the importer of the vehicle PRE CAR.
The STX v6 and STX 550 were made in batches.
Most have been sitting around for 6-9 months in holding yards.
Sitting that long on one section of the tyre will of certainly caused a flat spot and viabrations.
I had the same issues and went to a Bob Jane Tyres.
They organized a rep to inspect, who agreed the flat spots were there and tyres were replaced.
I'm sure you all know about the corrosion issues with the Navaras.
Unfortunately at high tide the navaras if on bottom level of ship are driven through the ocean water to get them out,sometimes way above door steps and then parked in there holding yards situated not far by.
The salt is never washed off.
The Navaras sit on a sandy soil which also has high salt content.
Ive witnessed some badly corroded Navaras.
My one had minor rust spots but I change the truck every 3 years so not worried.
This of cause is also happening to other manufactures.
