Question for fellow rennlisters.
I have a 80 SC that is feathering the tires, I'm assuming this was due to the toe being incorrect??
I'm also thinking it may also be the shocks contributing? Bouncing each corner of the car probably won't tell me anything?
Drove from AZ to Chicago this past summer and the the tires started humming once I when I arrived! It was a great drive!
Thoughts?

Pretty sure you saw these, but just in case:

Feather edge tire wear: Tires are “feathered” when the tread ribs are worn lower/smoother on one side and higher/sharper on the other. This is often caused by a combination of improper alignment settings, such as excessive toe and caster.
