Has anyone replaced their OEM tires with another brand (Michelin, Pirelli, etc.) and continued to have the feathering problem?

Basically, I'm trying to understand if this is just an OEM(Brigestone) issue. Thanks.

 

yeah they will feather, probably just not as bad or as quickly. unless of course the tire you get is just as soft as the 040's.

i originally went to potenza all weathers and thought they werent feathering, couldnt see anything and no noise. got aftermarket 19's and when i was rolling the originals to the rear of my garage for storage, they rolled on an arc to the inside of the tire. the rears rolled straight.

 

That doesn't mean feathering. That means inner camber wear which to a certain extent is normal since factory camber specs are negative. Feathering is when every other tread block on the inside is worn more than the one next to it.
