Tire Feathering

Post by D68enny »

I have a set of tires, but two of them have slight feathering. Can they still be used? Tires still have about 85% tread on them. Will they were back to normal tread wear if alignment is correct?

Are you rotating every 5K? They will be fine, just align and rotate the tires.

I figured I could put them on back. They are from a different vehicle but they are good tires except for the slight feathering on two of them. Thanks guys.
