Hello.....I need some advice....

One thing I noticed on my Hankooks Ventus V12 Evos. My front Hankook tires are feathering on the outside portion. My tires have less than 2K. The front end has been aligned since getting the tires due to the new LCAs, end links, and GMPP sway bar. Struts are original CompG struts. I have a new right hub.

This should not be happening this soon. Any ideas?

The tires are 245/45/18s on Moda rims.

Thanks

Some tires wear like that even though the alignment is good, which is the reason I buy name brand tires.

Yes, a lot of off brand directional tires feather very easily... Struts can also cause feathering if they are worn..
