Default Tire feathering TSB question

Ok we all know that there are TSB's out there for the tire feathering. Most dealers do these TSB's no problem, but what if you have aftermarket suspension. Will they still do it or are you on your own? Not that I would expect them to do a TSB relateing to the suspension when I have aftermarket suspension on but there is one that is willing to do it hell why not.

The worst thing you can do is try, but you better make sure your tires are actually feathered and not just worn on the inside from excessive negative camber from your lowering which I know increases negative camber in the front. Looks like you have rims as well, so what do you plan to do put the stock wheels back on?

Im not even sure what feathering looks like exactly. And if I put my stock wheels back on there wont be any signs of feathering for sure because i didnt have them on long enough for it to feather. Reason i asked was on my last car an Audi A4 it had coilpack issues. At first if you had modifications to the engine lke a chip, they would either deny you warranty or give you a hard time. But over time the issue was so common that they realized that it was not the chip or any other engine modification that casued the coilpack issues. I was just wondering if it was the same way with the tire feathering.

Well what are you expecting them to do when you take it in? They won't replace your aftermarket tires, that is for sure. They might be able to give you a free alignment and make sure your toe is correct.

I guess just do whatever is said to be done in the TSB, definately dont expect new tires.
