Anyone have bad feathering on their tire? Curious on what ride height they align at the factory. I've got 16k miles and the feathering is pretty bad across all 4 corners.

Yes, my tires are wearing quite badly at the edges - much faster than at the center. I've had the service center re-align my vehicle (advisor admitted the pre-alignment measurements were quite a bit off). I'm told they align with the suspension set to "Standard" height.

Given the wear pattern, I'm sure my bad alignment accelerated things, but honestly I expect it to remain poor... These are HEAVY vehicles, and when driving with the windows down I can hear them protesting every curve.

I replaced 2 tires (the two tires that had spent the most time on the front) at about 18k miles. FE was out of alignment for 14-15k miles of that though.
