Default Nismo S-Tune and Tire Feathering?

My Z has the infamous tire feathering problem. The tires were replaced at 10K miles; it only only took 500 miles for me to hear that the problem would come back, despite the dealer's best attempt to align the car. Now I have 20K miles, and the tires are noisy as hell, though there is still plenty of tread left on them.
Is there anyone out there who had the feather problem, and proceeded to install the Nismo S-Tune suspension? If so, has it made the feathering problem better or worse? I'd really like to get the S-Tune, but I will forget the idea if it aggrivates tire wear... any thoughts?
Thanks!
Mika

I'll let you know as soon as I get the alignment TSB. I have the suspension, and it *appears* that the feathering isn't getting any worse, but then again, the damage has already been done.
