I have 19" on there, so I need a 19X245X35. I sounds like this is never going to get fixed, so how to we at least maximize our tire life and minimize the noise? Some have said to put on a tire with a continuous ring vs individual blocks. Right now I have the Toyo T1S, would it be better to get the newer version T1R when these wear out (real soon) or a different brand??

 

as long as your toe is in check it wont feather...i am running the t1r and love them, had kdw nt's and they got loud after 10k miles

 

Is this a recent development? Seems like a lot of people are still haveing problems, is this an official fix???

 

I've seen very few posts about people still having feathering.

The "official" fix was to properly aligh the front end, especially the toe-in. The replacement tires did have a different block pattern which served to reduce the noise as it was generated by the different block height.

 

Tire feathering is due to Toe in as stated before, not to be blamed on the Tire itself...its innocent!

FWIW, my 03 had 3500-3800 miles on it when I had it aligned. The Toe was 1/4 inch OUT...which causes feathering...

 

WAIT, so has it been figured out and FIXED??? I hadn't had my alignment done in a while, but it seems that everything I read on this site seems to indicate that there is still a problem? (looking at the TIRE FEATHERING sticky).

I know they were playing with the toe, has NISSAN found a setting that works, and do all the dealers have it figured out??

 

I am sorry but tread design will not eliminate feathering. What you may want to do is pick a tire that does not have the edge block design like the feathered OEM tire above.
