TSB Help
I'm taking my C6 into the dealer Friday to look at a tire wear issue. Both of my front tires are feathering inboard and and outboard. Generally if you look at it from the side the tread blocks would look like teeth, raised more in the back of the tread as the tire rotates.
I noticed there is a TSB out but I can't find the details.
It is 07-03-10-008. I noticed it also said "normal" on a couple of sites which wouldn't surprise me.
I have started to notice this on my C6 within the last couple of months and the tire noise has been increasing. It isn't the usual noise from the rear tires, this one is definitely coming from the front.
Thanks for any help.

Information on Slight or Mild Tire Feathering and Recommended Practices (Normal Tire Wear Condition) Models:

This bulletin is being revised to add model years. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-03-10-008 (Section 03 - Suspension).
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 Corporate Bulletin Number 05-03-10-015A 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.
