It seems like one side of the tire has less tread than the other...does that mean I have the tire feathering problem? There are pics of my left and right rears..

+1 and yes you really do need new tires.

Tire feathering should produce uneven wear on the inside of your fronts. Alternating treadwear up and down. This also produces a "roaring" noise as you slow down to a stop. If you have this then you have to get the front end Camber adjusted and aligned. Most likely replace the front tires as well. Take it to Nissan and see if they will replace for free. They did on mine.
