I have already recieved new tires from nissan, yet the feathering is back. What do I need to do to correct this problem? Are there any parts I can buy to correct this issue?

Just wondering... did they adjust your toe?

No, all they did was give me two new front tires.

They should have adjusted the alignment as well.

They gave me 2 new tires, alignment, and replaced the right compression rod. How many miles did it take for the feathering to come back?

Does anyone have pictures of tire feathering?

I've been reading about it on this site since I joined a couple of months ago when I purchased my '06 ZR. I've got over 4,000 miles on the car now and the tires look fine. Pictures would help me know what to look for.

Thanks.

Same here, I check my tires every now and then but other than looking for abnormal wear I don't know what this feathering looks like.

The tires will have uneven wear. The inside track of the front tires will be worn more so than the outside. You will know when you have it. When you are driving at 15-25 or so you will hear a droning noise, but it will go away at higher speeds.

If you have a 06 don’t worry about it. If you want look under my previous posts, about 3 weeks ago I posted a picture of my tires feathered.

Yeah, it's a combination of the tire design and the alignment from the factory. I'm paying out my butthole for new tires and an alignment this weekend to fix it. Even though I got my car with 4k miles and certified used, they're still holding me to the original selling date as far as that part of the warranty is concerned. Total BS.

Never noticed the problem but then again I had the Nismo Suspension put on my car when I bought it new.

Alignment should fix your problem

The '06s don't have the problem?

That is correct, it is a problem found in 03 and some 04's.

dude samething for me the inside of my tires are getting bald, but i dont know if i could be because i changed my rims and changed my springs.

ohSIXz

even tho i have an 06 i still check every so often just in case. but i see no issue.

cant pre-06 owners get the 06 control arms (arent those what rub?) to fix the problem?

The first thing you should do when you change the suspension is get an alignment!! That should fix your problem. And for the feathering issue I had my car aligned 2 times and it seems to be better I just put new tires on 3k miles ago and my fingers are still crossed!
