How can I fix tire feathering on my car?

For the last month or so, I’ve been noticing an odd difference in the way my car drives. Nothing major, but there’s a change. I had a mechanic friend take a look, and they said that I had tire feathering, which was probably the source of the issue. How can I fix tire feathering on my car?

I’m sorry to hear that you may be dealing with tire feathering but very impressed that you were able to feel the difference and took the initiative to get it looked at. Generally, tire feathering is caused by suspension issues or wheel misalignment, so it may be in your best interest to have your vehicle inspected for these issues.
In the meantime, have your tires rotated to even out the wear and tear on each tire. A more permanent solution is to replace your tires.
