What causes rear tire feathering?

Rear tire feathering is typically caused by misalignment in the vehicle's suspension, which leads to uneven wear on the tire tread. This misalignment can result from hitting potholes, curbs, or general wear and tear on suspension components. Additionally, improper tire pressure can exacerbate the issue, causing the edges of the tread to wear more quickly than the center. Regular alignment checks and proper tire maintenance can help prevent feathering.
