This bulletin provides information regarding the normal tire wear condition of slight or mild tire feathering and recommended practices.
If a vehicle comes into a dealership with a concern of slight or mild feathering-type wear on the tires, review with the customer their past tire
rotation history. Tires should be rotated every 8,000 to 13,000 km (5,000 to 8,000 mi) for applicable vehicles with tires where a tire rotation is
possible or recommended. Refer to the owner manual and review related bulletins for information on tire rotation for vehicles with different
front/rear tire/wheel sizes.
SOME TIRE FEATHERING IS A NORMAL PART OF TIRE WEAR AND THROUGH PROPER TIRE ROTATION AND INFLATION, THIS
TIRE WEAR CAN BE MINIMIZED AND TIRE LIFE MAXIMIZED.
If the customer has not rotated the tires within the last 8,000 to 13,000 km (5,000 to 8,000 mi), a tire rotation in the modified X-pattern is necessary
to clean-up the feathering, rather than placing the vehicle on the alignment machine.
