so how do you actually know if you have a feathering problem on your Z?

 

feel your tire, look at your tire

 

Examine your tires. Run your had across the tire tread. If feathering has started, you will feel the raised edges.. It normally should be smooth.. Also, you will start to get the low speed (under 30) growling noise from the front tires.. I have almost 16,000 miles on my "Z" and the tires just started to make noise.. I ran my hands across the tires and really can't detect any feathering so.. I'll keep the tires a bit longer and then replace them.
