Feathering is a uneven edge wear that can make the edge of the tire look like a saw blade.
No, rotating the tires will not fix feathering. Tire feathering is an issue that must be fix, other wise you will keep on buy tires every 2 months ( if brand new), if use tire with in a week or so depending on the condition of the use tire. I learned this from personal experience.
Incorrect wheel alignment, either excessive toe-in or toe-out. This can be solved by getting your wheels tracked.
If the front tires on a Mitsubish Pajero have worn on the outer wall, it can be caused by wheel alignment issues. As wheel alignment shifts, it can cause feathering of the tires.
Feathering
check wheel bearings. check tires for cupping or feathering.
No, nether does feather
Wear on the outside both edges is a sign you are running the tires with too little air pressure. Wear in the center is a sign you are over inflating the tires with too much air pressure. Cupping of the tires is a sign of worn shocks or struts. Wear on the inner or outer edge of the tire is a sign that the front end needs aligning. Also feathering of the tire is a sign of a front end out of alignment.
Feathering is a form of heat induced coagulation. In coffee: protein in milk is destabilised and coagulates by the heat to form white flecks on the surface.
With the 350ci and 3.73 axel ratio and feathering the gas pedal at about 65mph I can get between 15 and 17mpg. At 75mph it drops by almost 3 to 4mpg. Make sure you have a clean air filter and the tires are at the recommended inflation.
Often used as an alternative to sun screen, tar and feathering soon became a fashion statement in 1635. The more feather a man held under
When the tire tread reaches 2/32nds, or sooner if they have abnormal wear( cupping, feathering, dry rotted, etc.). Tires have 2/32nds inch wear bars going across the tread between the blocks that are the factory indicators. So if you start to see a solid rubber line going across the tread starting to form, it's time to get new ones.
Tire out of balance, low air pressure, broken or slipped belt in tire, or wheel mounted incorrectly. Remove both front wheels, inspect the tires for bulges, dips, or feathering, inflate to correct PSI, reinstall and torque in a criss cross pattern to proper torque. If you still have the problem have the tires checked for proper balance. You should always check the balance when rotating tires.
